Pokémon GO Easter Event Announced

  1. How did they go so wrong with Samurott’s design? Like I literally don’t understand. Oshawott and Dewott are just so perfect and adorable, which makes it more painful.

    Gym Leader #1 (Acid)

    Name: Claudette (Cloud)
    Type: Flying
    Badge: Flitter Badge
    Prize: Roost ™
    Age: 64
    Bio: An energetic bird keeper known for the shows she puts on, showcasing exotic bird Pokemon such as Toucannon and Chatot. However, she much prefers the local species, enthusiastically raising awareness over avian issues.

    Team:

    Chirpin (Normal/Flying) Lv. 13
    Natu (Psychic/Flying) Lv. 13

    Gym Leader #1 (Base)

    Name: Desmond (Desmodus rotundus, common vampire bat)
    Type: Flying
    Badge: Flitter Badge
    Prize: Roost ™
    Age: 17
    Bio: An acrobat known for his vampire themed performances, and a lover of bat Pokemon. He’s the stark opposite of Claudette, being serious as well as sombre. It’s no wonder the two fight it out over the Flying – Type gym position, with the victor determined by the version of the game…

    Team:

    Zubat (Poison/Flying) Lv. 13
    Woobat (Psychic/Flying) Lv. 13
    Spoobat (Ghost/Flying) Lv. 15

    Gym Leader #2

    Name: Anya and Catya (Anion and cation, types of ions)
    Type: Electric
    Badge: Electron Badge
    Prize: Parabolic Charge ™
    Age: 16
    Bio: These two are the twin daughters of once poor immigrants who applied their skills as electricians to make a living. Electricity brought their parents together, improved their parents’ lives, and allowed their births. Despite their shared love for electricity and each other, they’re shockingly different – Anya is a pessimist with people problems whereas Catya is a gregarious optimist.

    Team:

    Anya

    Minun (Electric) Lv. 18

    Gym Leader #3

    Name: Terrance
    Type: Ground
    Badge: Terrain Badge
    Prize: Bulldoze TM
    Age: 24
    Bio: A young landscaper who uses his Pokemon’s abilities to the fullest in his career. He is a masterful prodigy of Ground – Type Pokémon, yet is very down to earth about it. Terrance’s landscapes are works of art, but his inner artist comes to flourish fully in battle, where he uses the earth itself to his advantage.

    Team:

    Mudbray (Ground) Lv. 22
    Rubblin (Ground) Lv. 22
    Navelle (Ground/Cosmic) Lv. 24/Polley Lv. 24 (Ground/Fairy) (Acid/Base)

    Gym Leader #4

    Name: Archibald/’Artie’
    Type: Ice
    Badge: Permafrost Badge
    Prize: Frost Breath TM
    Age: 51
    Bio: He prides himself in being the oldest Gym Leader, yet is merely a year older than Belle. As an old fashioned man, he’s very stubborn, yet also a complete gossip which has lead to a strange friendship with Delphine, a fellow Gym Leader. He usually sticks to his ideals, but occasionally these stern beliefs will melt and reform.

    Team:

    Regional Dartrix (Ice/Flying) Lv. 28
    Cloyster (Water/Ice) Lv. 28
    Compoposit (Ice/Fire) Lv. 30

    Gym Leader #5

    Name: Alexa Rhys
    Type: Fighting
    Badge: Laurel Badge
    Prize: Drain Punch TM
    Age: 33
    Bio: A world renowned female bodybuilder and wrestler who intimidates all with her size and stature, as well as her crude sense of humour. She goes all out in battle, and pulls no punches. She is however, a good loser, seeing loss as an opportunity for improvement. She’s left many a trainer with broken dreams of challenging the Pokémon League.

    Team:

    Gallade (Psychic/Fighting) Lv. 33
    Herova (Cosmic/Fighting) Lv. 33
    Regional (Fighting/Dark) Incineroar Lv. 35

    Gym Leader #6

    Name: Seth
    Type: Fairy
    Badge: Fantasy Badge
    Prize: Draining Kiss TM
    Age: 27
    Bio: This casanova has it all: looks, wits, battle smarts. His playboy lifestyle is supported by his mastery of the fantasy writing genre. His books and looks ensure he has a legion of fans under his fair thrall, and he often clashes head to head with Alexa in a battle of force versus finesse. Seth currently has his eyes on both Alexa and Terrance, and he’s confident that he’ll ensnare at least one of them.

    Team:

    Regional Primarina (Normal/Fairy) Lv. 41
    Fauxpaws (Fairy) Lv. 41
    Whimsicott (Grass/Fairy) Lv. 42
    Zaffalkyrie (Fairy/Fighting) Lv. 44

    Gym Leader #7

    Name: Belle/Don
    Type: Poison
    Badge: Venom Badge
    Prize: Sludge Wave TM
    Age: 50 (Belle)/47 (Don)
    Bio: A husband and wife duo who take turns managing their clinic and Gym. In Acid, Don is managing the Gym, and in Base, it’s Belle. They’re both wonderful, caring people, and are in an idyllic relationship which actually formed in medical school over their love of Poison Pokemon, and their taste in Pokemon doesn’t reflect their personality or relationship. They dote on the other Gym Leaders as of they were their own Grandchildren, and enjoy long chats with Archibald and his wife, Pyrrha.

    Team:

    Crobat (Poison/Flying) Lv. 47
    Adnokana (Poison/Dragon) Lv. 47/Hakking, (Poison/Fire) Lv. 47 (Acid/Base)
    Pathawgen (Ice/Poison) Lv. 48
    Regional Slurpuff (Fairy/Poison)/Aromatisse (Steel/Poison) Lv. 50 (Acid/Base)

    Gym Leader #8

    Name: Delphine
    Type: Psychic
    Badge: Fortune Badge
    Prize: Psyshock TM
    Age: 19
    Bio: A fortune teller from the Kalos region, and a disciple of Olympia’s. Despite being a respected clairvoyant, she’s a gossipy chatterbox who cares for all, even those who do not reciprocate this attitude. She came to the region after hearing of all its ghost and fairy stories, believing that the spiritual energy in the region could help her attain greater heights, and just so happened to arrive when a new Gym Leader was needed. Was it fate?

    Team:

    Bruxish (Water/Psychic) Lv. 55
    Bonzowl (Grass/Psychic) Lv. 56
    Espenoir (Bug/Psychic) Lv. 56
    Delphox* (Fire/Psychic) Lv. 57
