The World of Wonders season has come to Pokémon Go. Wiglett can now be caught as part of Rediscover Kanto, but don't forget to complete the World of Wonders quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.
Everything else you need to know about the Día de Muertos event in Pokémon Go
You can enjoy three bonuses throughout the Día de Muertos event in Pokémon Go, with the first being double catch Candy. Along with this, both Lure Modules and Incense, though not Daily Adventure Incense, will last for 90 minutes during the event. If you're playing the event in Latin America and the Caribbean, you also get additional Candy for transferring Pokémon.
There are also two new costume Pokémon arriving for this event - Cempasúchil Crown Cubone, and Marowak. Cempasúchil Crown Duskull and its evolutions also make a return this year. You need 25 Duskull Candy to evolve Cempasúchil Crown Duskull into Cempasúchil Crown Dusclops, and 100 Duskull Candy to evolve Cempasúchil Crown Dusclops into Cempasúchil Crown Dusknoir.
You'll have no problem catching Cempasúchil Cubone as it can be found in the wild, through field research tasks, one-star raids, and with Incense and Lure Modules. Once you have one of these special Cubones you can evolve it into a Cempasúchil Crown Marowak by using 50 Cubone Candy.
The following Pokémon are appearing more frequently in the wild throughout the Día de Muertos event:
- Sunkern
- Sableye
- Roselia
- Cempasúchil Crown Duskull
- Drifloon
- Litwick
- Yamask
- Phantump
- Cempasúchil Crown Cubone
The above Pokémon will be appearing even more often if you live in either Latin America or the Caribbean.
The Pokémon listed below are appearing more frequently when you use either Incense or Lure Modules during the event:
- Sunkern
- Sunflora
- Houndour
- Sableye
- Roselia
- Cempasúchil Crown Duskull
- Drifloon
- Cempasúchil Crown Cubone
- Flabébé (Orange Form)
Again, these Pokémon will appear even more frequently if you live in either Latin America or the Caribbean.
Cempasúchil Crown Cubone is the only Pokémon in one-star raids throughout the event. Azumarill, Hariyama, and Bombirdier are in three-star raids, while Darkrai and Mega Banette remain in five-star and Mega Raids respectively.
You'll also be able to enter Duskull in PokéStop Showcases.
Finally, you'll be able to get event-themed stickers by spinning PokéStops, opening Gifts, and purchasing them from the in-game shop, and the Día de Muertos avatar item returns for the event, sticking around in the shop even when the event ends.
Hope you enjoy this year's Día de Muertos event in Pokémon Go!
