Aside from the field research quests and timed research quest, the obvious reason to take part in the Kalos Celebration event is that Gen 6 has been released into Pokémon Go!

During this event, you'll be able to battle Gen 6 Pokémon in raids, such as Espurr, and maybe even hatch one from an egg, as a number of Gen 6 Pokémon are now permanent features in the egg pools.

The Gen 6 Pokémon also have a boosted spawn rate throughout the Kalos Celebration event:

  • Chespin
  • Fennekin
  • Froakie
  • Bunnelby
  • Fletchling
  • Litleo
  • Noibat
Chespin, Litleo and Noibat will all be easier to find during the Kalos Celebration event.
