Pokemon Go may have been released in the summer of 2016, but Niantic has been hard at work, keeping the game fresh and enjoyable by adding a constant stream of new and exciting features. Active players will be able to enjoy a new special event which will be available until March 12. During the Battle Showdown, lucky players will be able to catch two Shiny Pokemon.
Players who participate in the event will have a higher chance to catch fighter-type Pokemon monsters like Mankey, Machop, and Makuhita as they will spawn more often in the wild. Those that are lucky will be able to capture shiny versions of Mankey and Machop.
Other features are also offered during the event. If you catch a Pokémon, the quantity of Star Dust obtained for each one will be doubled, and the same bonus is available for fighting and raids. A double XP bonus is also active for Gym Badges.
Pokemon Go Special Event Starts With New Shiny Pokemons Up For Grabs
Up to five rewards can be won each they from duels with other players and challenging team leaders will give you the chance to earn three rare rewards per day including Rare Candy. Niantic has also added the Power-Up Punch to the game as a permanent move which can be learned by select Pokémon.
Dialga, a new legendary Pokémon, has a chance to drop from raid battles until March 28. If you are looking forward to the monthly Community Day, the event has been scheduled for March 23, and it will be available for three hours. The featured Pokémon is Treecko, one of the starter Pokémon which were introduced in Generation 3. Treecko is a Grass-type and players will have a high chance to find it in wild areas. If players manage to evolve the Pokémon to the final form, Sceptil, in two hours or less the Pokémon will learn an exclusive move that won’t be available otherwise.
The Pokemon Go game is available for free on the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store. If you’ve never played it, now would be the perfect time to join millions of other players as the new Pokemon Go event would offer you a lot of exciting stuff for you to grab, including shiny Pokemons.
