Pokémon GO Easter Event Announced

by

The rumors are true, Pokémon GO will be hosting an Easter Eggstravaganza Event!

From 1:00pm PST today until 1:00pm PST on April 20th, trainers will be able to take advantage of the following benefits:

  • Double EXP
  • Greater variety of Pokémon hatching from 2km eggs
  • Increased candy quanity for egg hatchs
  • 50% off on Lucky Eggs in the in-game shop

No word yet if the new Pokémon added to the 2km egg group will be brought down from the 5km and 10km groups, or if they’re simply Pokémon that usually cannot be hatched from eggs at all. For the official press release you can visit Niantic’s official blog!

  9. Cool another GO event. In other news there’s a Ho-oh event give away for the movie. Maybe this turns into another Keldeo kind of thing where Ho-oh gets a new form? Lol

    • Don’t think so tbh, iirc the old legends that showed up in the Hoopa movie were distributed or something along those lines?

      The legendary beasts were also distributed for the zoroark movie with new moves

      • Well yeah I’m not saying 100% that it’ll get a form. It likely won’t, but to be fair it’s kind of a different situation compared to the cases you pointed out. In the hoops movie the legendary Pokemon weren’t the main focal point. They could have been swapped out for anything. As for the legendary beasts, the thing that made them special was that they were shiny. Plus they still got an event in BW anyway. Again not saying Ho-oh WILL get a form, just saying it could happen lol

  10. What a rubbish event.

    I don’t spend money on incubators (or lucky eggs for that matter) so guess this one isn’t for us casuals.

  11. Boring work…
    So I need a new type combo that I haven’t done yet
    I’ve got
    Normal/Ghost Opossum
    Ground/Fighting Pig wrestler (which I decided to make this species 100% Male)
    Poison/Psychic Psychedelic Gecko
    Fairy/Poison Aristocratic beauty
    Rock/Electric Stegosaurus
    Grass/Electric Anemone

    So far I lack Normal/Steel and Rock/Ghost unless I deside to change my Rock/Flying Gargoyle Grimgoyle into a Ghost type but I dunno

    And I really don’t want to make the cliche normal porcupine with steel quills

    Unless I make a Normal/Steel Moose

      • The thingy that was leaked
        U don’t see a Banana Slug when you look at it?
        I sense the Pokemon aura within its design
        Only legitimate ken sugimori designs have that distinctive aura
        And this one has it

          • Riiiiiight

            It’s not convincing because it’s Sugomori style, you can replicate that.

            It’s the similarity in lay out to pay art

          • Your aura is just an arbitrary thing though, just say you think it’s believable rather than bring in some superstition or hunch

          • Well I see tons of fakemons a day and most of the time they just don’t have that glow to them, and sometimes you just have gut feelings I plan on analyzing it for details

          • There are believable fakes out there though, and if GameFreak’s various artists and designers, and the tons of people who work on the anime can replicate Sugomori style, then others can too.

          • Just a weird sensation I feel when I look at Pokemon, legit Pokemon,
            I just feel it on this sluggy

          • But it just goes to show that people can replicate an art style. There is no ‘aura’, it’s just a believable leak that has us doubting whether it’s real or fake.

          • On second thought, it does look like it doesn’t have legs, so it could be a slug? Shame the art couldn’t be higher quality like the starter leaks XD

          • It has a blobby body
            It’s sitting on a leaf and has tiny nub arms and long antenna with what appears to be leaves

            So it’s gotta be a Slug of some kind
            And the proof goes further with the whole banana theme

          • One thing that makes me skeptical is that the pikachu is a direct copy of the SSB4 art and the Popplio is a direct copy of the official art. It’s not anything groundbreaking, but if it was done by a Pokemon artist I wouldn’t expect exact copies of other art, from two different games no less.

          • Tbf it does appear to be anime art, and it could just be they looked up the art to create the scale chart by copying the art rather than freestyling? Not the most unbelievable thing, although it could be a weakness in an other wise well made fake

          • Naaah, that’s way too short. Starters were up for like half a year before game for announced them, before that we got gradual confirmation and hints

            (Popplio’s fairy moves, then how obvious Torracat and Brionne made it, then the demo leak, then official reveal almost half a year later)

          • It’s not meant to be revealed if it’s real, you’re just going to have to wait. For all we know it’s from next year’s anime and its a super early leak and we won’t see it in game either because it could be an early Gen 8 appearance or something.

            Wait for contradictions, not for an arbitrary amount of time to pass.

          • But why is Pikachu and Poplio in the same paper for size comparison? Both are the same size so there’s no need to include both to compare the size of the banana.

            Or there is?

          • Pika’s ears make it slightly taller than Popplio, and they could be including multiple Pokemon to just give the idea of its size range? Could be another hint at it being false tho

  18. I think I’m gonna start moving toward finishing BotW. As much as I want to keep exploring and doing a bunch of dumb random stuff, my play time has been slowing recently and it’s clear that after over a month the fun I’m having is starting to slow.

        • Phew, and even just the option of a secondary amiibo that was fierce diety would’ve been nice (like Bayo Cloud and Corrin’s alt amiibo)

          Reply

          • I want the regular versions of the 3 smash amiibo and that’s it for now. All the other ones they revealed were just alternate ones of characters we already have, which is cool, but I’m short on money and I don’t need 3 more blond guys in green tunics.

  20. I know that it’s possibly gonna get replaced by the time they come out but if that banana is real it’s probably going on my team for whatever game it’s in

  24. My entire analysis ruid by a reload
    Anyway I had a whole thing completely ruined so broad strokes

    First form
    -invertebrate body
    -leaf shaped stomach pattern and antenna
    -roughly a foot tal maybe 1.2
    -and nub like arms

    Second form
    -large pouch of skin resembling a banana’s skin
    -head can freely move
    -curly antenna on the skin’s too
    -capable of pulling a flap of skin to hide its face

    So possibly a grass/bug or bug/grass based not only on the banana slug but also banana leafs since the first form seems to have the similar biology

    • The funny thing behind this is one thing, The banana slug is one of those animals I would never think a fake leak would based a pokemon on it. it gives more credibility imo

      • I’ve made $84,000 so far this year working online and I’m a full time student. I’m using an online business opportunity I heard about and I’ve made such great money. It’s really user friendly and I’m just so happy that I found out about it. The potential with this is endless. Here’s what I do
