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. Ugh this is killing me
    So I’m trying to make a Fire/Flying Peachick and Peacock but trying to find a name that incorporates Peacocks but also a scorching inferno that’s not only destructive but beautiful

    So far it’s Peaphe and that’s it, maybe something like Paonthrall but that’s dumb

    • Have you looked into different names for the Peacock, like its Latin name or names in other language? That’s what I’m doing for my chickpea peachick

      • I’m trying to work around Paon which is French which is the language of love (and surrender) I could try Italian but my bran isn’t what it used to be…

        • Keep in mind the name doesn’t *have* to include Peacock in anyway as long as it still describes the Pokemon. For example, Talonflame doesn’t have ‘peregrine falcon’ conveyed in its name (tbh it sounds like any bird of prey with fire) or even a robin theme referencing its prevos, yet its still a suitable name for it.

  2. Lit just finished my Chickpea Peachick and its evo name, honestly naming Fakemon can be instant or take like five years

    Stage 1: Chickpeep (Chickpea + Peep)
    Stage 2: Bonzowl (Garbonzo + Fowl)

    Garbonzo is another name for chickpea, what most people just call peacocks are known as peafowl (cocks are male, hens are female)

        • With them tail feather doodads amplifying psychic waves or using shimming colors to hypnotize when it’s spreads its butt

          Reply

          • Nope. The tail feathers are made for gathering psychic energy, which they then use for their telekinetic abilities in order to keep themselves clean or to deter predators (as they’re terrible fliers)

          • Fair enough

            Unsurprisingly mine are extremely vain and haughty spending their moments preening their prized silvery red feathers, they can set their wings and tail on fire and shower the opponent in a sea of embers, this process is not only horrifyingly powerful but visually beautiful

          • So is it partially phoenix based? That actually sounds like an amazing concept. Speaking of, what about Paonix as a name, even just as a placeholder until you find something better?

          • Well yes but I didn’t want it to be entirely Pheonix based, I wanted a peacock that was either a Normal/Flying with a harp tail but I decided on the whole beauty of the flame concept

            More of a peacock with the benefits of a Pheonix

            I do like Paonix but I was thinking a long extravagant name as a homage to their grandiose nature

  3. Ooh just came up with some Fakémon I really like 😮

    #100-Cullahan (Kull-a-HAN)
    Type: Fairy/Poison
    Basis: Dullatur, a bit of Goblin
    Ability: Pale Rider

    Cullahan is a Pokemon said to be a bringer of death. It was believed that Cullahan were few, yet able to travel across the land in an instant, but they are in fact an uncommon but numerous species, and the death it brought was a disease it transmitted to humans when they entered its domain or they scared it off from its habitat. They’re actually shy and rational, and since humans created a vaccine for their disease they’ve become an illusive ally rather than an omnipresent omen.

    #101-Tenebreigh (Tenebris + Neigh)
    Type: Dark
    Basis: Dullahan’s Horse, a literal ‘dark horse’, Shetland Ponies
    Ability: Dark Mount

    Tenebreigh are some of the last remaining ‘wild horse’ Pokemon – meaning humans had no influence on its development. They’ve created a symbiotic relationship with Cullahan, allowing the fairies to ride them and in turn gain protection. They’re cruel and cannot truly be tamed – any hopeful trainer must gain its respect.

    Their abilities, Pale Rider and Dark Mount, work in unison. In a Double Battle, if your Pokemon has Pale Rider and an ally with Dark Horse, the Pokemon with Pale Rider will act off of its ally’s speed stat rather than its own.

  4. It’s just limbo… it’s a limbo. You win a game gloriously… then in the next game two people leave and you get destroyed. Your ranking goes up then down the up then down… never stops… YOU CANT STOP. YOU CAN NEVER REACH GOLD

  5. I accidentally used Lillie’s doll. I SR’d without hesitation, but now I have to reEV train my shiny birdie. Oh well.
    Is anyone playing pokemon today? and anyone wanna have some random generated teams match

    Reply

  9. So I’m playing Bravely Second and despite the fact I changed her from a black mage/summoner (burst magic DPS) in the first game to a monk/charioteer (sustain physical DPS) the same character is literally just carrying my team again

    Bravely Second: End Layer? More like Bravely Second: Edea Slayer

  11. I got a challenge for all shiny hunters~
    There is a great prize.
    The challenge is to catch/hatch/own a pokemon based on an egg that is shiny, like Exeggcute, Exeggcutor (either form) Togepi, Togetic, Togekiss, Happiny, Chansey, Blissey, among others.
    Catch 1 of them and trade it to me in exchange for the mythical egg hatched Pokemon, Manaphy! (Limit 1)
    Any runners up will get a Phione after that with trade.(unlimited, 1 per person)
    But don’t just say it, show me in a picture you took yourself!
    I look forward to the contest!
    Happy Shiny Egg hunt~

    • Probably not given its really not that bad. Most late game weapons last for multiple fights easily and generally once you get along the game you realize you really shouldn’t fight that often. The rewards for doing so usually aren’t that good.

  19. I saw people talking ’bout Peacock Fakemon so I thought I’d see what you think about mine:

    Seekfowl (Seek + Peafowl)
    Ghost/Flying
    100% male
    They have eyes (that sometimes blink) as feathers on their tails.

    “The eyes are souls of dead people looking at the changing world. Seekfowl’s power is gathered when the eyes blink.

    Scientists say that baby and female Seekfowls exist, but nobody has ever seen one in person”
