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!

  1. Has anyone here ever literally just chose a starter purely on type? I used to only pick Fires until Primarina

  3. Phew, done with my Fakemon! 138 Fakémon, 15 being prevos or evos of old Pokémon, 7 legends, and 2 mythicals. Just need to get Regional Variants and Megas out of the way! 😀

  7. So I have an idea. Using only 600 stats, make a Pokemon that fits you as a person (like your favorite types, favorite stat distribution, fav/ made up ability, and 5 moves that it can learn out of its moveset). You can give it a name if you desire.

    I.E.

    Electric/Fighting
    Ability: Acceleration (at 1/4 HP, speed increases by 1)
    Height: 4’03”
    Weight: 120 lbs
    Stats:
    (HP): 100
    (ATK): 131
    (DEF): 60
    (SP ATK): 112
    (SP DEF): 63
    (SPD): 134
    Moves: Close Combat, Thunder Punch, Ice Punch, High Jump Kick, Tempest Slam (100 BP Electric Move).

  14. Anyone else thinks that flying type is underrated? I know there’s a lot of secondary flying types, but there’s only one true pure flying type and one primary flying type evolutionary family (and It’s not even a 3 stager)

          • Glass-like substance
            Besides it learns way more psychic moves then rock (not even TMs only sandstorm)
            And the whole concept of neurotoxins was the perfect reason for psychic/poison but once again they goofed

          • But neurotoxins aren’t a psychic power at all

            They effect the mind, but that’s purely the Poison’s effect. Nihilego doesn’t have any refined psychic control over the host, the neurotoxin works and reacts with the brain to bring about the changes.

            It’s still glass like. Brittle and clear. For all we know it’s glass from an Ultra Space mineral.

            Yes, it learns a lot of Psychic moves. However, many of these aren’t necessarily based around the psyche (the Split moves, the Room moves, and the damage halving moves) and are actually quite wide spread or at least send before in non psychics, and it only learns three damage dealing Psychic moves. Besides Psywave, the other two are literally distributed to everything and its mother.

          • Also the name Nihilego
            It literally translates to nothing and ego meaning it is nothing, that lack of a psyche and its habit of possessing is perfect for a psychic type

          • It doesn’t possess though? It alters, just as irl neurotoxins that are not in anyway psychic in real life work.

            And Nihilego probably refers to its own lack of a mind, which tbh sounds like the complete opposite of a Psychic type. The Aether Foundation even notes it likely only exists on a survival instinct, not a dastardly evil manipulative psychic mind

  19. Someone: ‘My favourite type gets it ba-‘

    Me: Poison has:

    Half of its Pokémon from Gen 1 (21 years ago)

    Barely any Pokemon in every Gen outside of 1, 4 and 5

    No legends

  21. Noxinewt
    The Newt Pkm
    Poison/Psychic
    Own Tempo/Poison Touch HA: Psych Out lowers Special Attack upon entering the field
    Noxinewts are small thin reptilian Pokemon of a bright magenta coloration, their heads are tall and flat with wide blank green eyes with swirly pupils and prominent nostrils, it has short legs with flat frog like digits, and a long coiled tail
    “Their bright flashy colors inform predators that they are dangerous, if you stare long into their eyes you find yourself dizzy and sickly”

    Hallucicko
    The Lucid Pkm
    Poison/Psychic
    Own Tempo/Poison Touch HA: Psych Out
    A medium sized reptilian Pokemon with flashy bright pink and yellow skin, their lungs are low to the ground and occasionally they stand up on their hind legs and flash their rainbow colored stomachs, a wide flat head and bright wide eyes with a spiral pattern, and lastly a even longer coiled tail that shimmers with color
    “The brighter their skins are the more potent their venom is, they exhale a colorful mist that causes confusion and dizziness”

  23. Hey I’ve got an idea for a new way to play through any pokemon game: Pet Adventure (the cheesiest name ever)

    You box your starter, and transfer the first stage of the pokemon that looks the closest to your pet (If you have more than one pet then transfer their pokemon lookalike too) For me it would be Alolan Meowth named Joey, after my British Shorthair (I have another cat but It’s a black cat named Litten so it would be boring). And later in the game you can only catch pokemon based on pets (cats, dogs, turtles, little fish, rabbits,… etc).

    Does that make sense?
