Trainers,

Things are about to get electric with the Crackling Voltage event! Electric-type Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild, and Trainers can look forward to the Legendary Pokémon Tapu Koko, a guardian deity of the Alola region, returning in Five-Star raids. Also, for the first time in Pokémon GO, you’ll be able to encounter Shiny Helioptile and Shiny Tapu Koko—if you’re lucky!

We have also received reports that Team GO Rocket might try to spark some trouble with new Shadow Pokémon soon. Stay alert, Trainers!

On this occasion, the following attractions will be provided:

  • The following Pokémon will appear more often in the wild: Ekans, Magnemite, Grimer, Electrike, Stunky, Blitzle, Ferroseed, Helioptile, Grubbin.
    • Anyone who is lucky will get Beldum and Dedenne.
    • In addition, for the first time in Pokemon GO, it will be possible to meet Shiny Helioptile.

    • 5-star raids: Tapu Koko, Registeel,
    • Mega Raids: Mega Gengar, Mega Aerodactyl.
      • A Helioptile appearing in these raids will have a better chance of being shiny than a Helioptile met in the wild.
  • The following Pokémon will hatch from 7km eggs: Alolan Sandshrew, Skarmory, Blitzle, Stunfisk, Galarian Stunfisk, Helioptile, Dedenne.
  • After completing Field Research tasks, the following Pokemon will be encountered: Voltorb, Hisuian Voltorb, Plusle, Minun, Emolga, Helioptile.
