Everything else you need to know about the A Paldean Adventure event in Pokémon Go

The A Paldean Adventure event is running until Sunday 10th September at 10am (local time). At this point the Ultra Unlock: Paldea event will begin and bring even more Gen 9 Pokémon to Pokémon Go!

First, however, you’ll want to spend some time catching the first wave of Gen 9 Pokémon released into Pokémon Go, which are listed below:

• Sprigatito
• Floragato (Evolve Sprigatito using 25 Sprigatito Candy)
• Meowscarada (Evolve Floragato using 100 Sprigatito Candy)
• Fuecoco
• Crocalor (Evolve Fuecoco using 25 Fuecoco Candy)
• Skeledirge (Evolve Crocalor using 100 Fuecoco Candy)
• Quaxly
• Quaxwell (Evolve Quaxly using 25 Quaxly Candy)
• Quaquaval (Evolve Quaxwell using 100 Quaxly Candy)
• Lechonk
• Oinkologne (Evolve Lechonk using 50 Lechonk Candy)

Shiny Lechonk and Oinkologne are also being released as part of this event!

A new special research quest, called A Paldean Adventure Special Research, has also been released to help you catch these new Gen 9 Pokémon. A Paldean Adventure Special Research is available until Friday 1st December at 9:59am (local time), so you have more than enough time to collect this new quest.

There are also a number of Ultra Unlock bonuses running throughout the A Paldean Adventure event. The first two see you receiving x4 catch XP and stardust alongside every Pokémon you catch. Golden PokéStops will also be appearing throughout this event and, while you can’t find Roaming Form Gimmighouls from these PokéStops, you may earn Gimmighoul Coins!

The above bonuses will also be available during the Ultra Unlock: Paldea event.

Another Ultra Unlock running throughout this event is that Unown A, D, E, L and P (I wonder what word that spells…) can be fought in one-star raids.

Alongside these Unowns, you can battle the following Pokémon in raids:

It’s important to note that Kartana will be available in five-star raids in the northern hemisphere and Celesteela in five-raids in the southern hemisphere until Friday 8th September. These Ultra Beasts will then switch hemispheres - Kartana to the southern hemisphere and Celesteela in the northern hemisphere - until Saturday 16th September.

Here are Pokémon which will be appearing more frequently in the wild during A Paldean Adventure:

• Hoppip
• Houndour
• Buizel
• Fletchling
• Sprigatito
• Fuecoco
• Quaxly
• Lechonk

The shiny rates for Hoppip, Houndour, Buizel and Fletchling will also be increased during this event, so, if you’re missing them from your shiny collection, now is the time to hunt them down.

Any 7km egg you collect from opening Gifts during A Paldean Adventure can hatch one of the following Pokémon:

• Sprigatito
• Fuecoco
• Quaxly
• Lechonk

Finally, you’ll be able to enter Lechonk in PokéStop Showcases during the event.

Hope you enjoy A Paldean Adventure and good luck catching the new Gen 9 Pokémon!
