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. I think I’m ready to say that BotW is a masterpiece. One of the best games ever made. For all of its very minor flaws, it’s still probably even better than OoT. It does everything just right. I don’t remember the last time I could hardly focus in school because I was thinking about playing a game. It’s so exciting.

    I just want to talk about this game forever because it is so amazing. The graphics are beautiful, the music sets the tone perfectly, the story is great (both the main quest and the stories you make just walking around) the combat is varied and the world… omg the world.. I’ve been playing for a week and I’m still finding new things. It’s crazy

  2. Yknow… I always praise the gen 3 movies for being great but I always forget the fact that Kyogre and Groupon never got a friggin movie…. I know they got an anime special but REALLY?

  9. Hypothetical scenario

    All Pokemon lose an evolutionary stage. One stagers no longer exist even if they had Megas, two stagers become one stagers, three stagers become two stagers, and if the Pokemon’s final evo (whether it’s a two stager or a three stager) had a Mega Evolution, its Mega is lost and the final evo becomes the Mega (Megazards disappear but Charizard is now just Mega Charmeleon)

    What’s your new team of six?

  13. I’m proud to say that I have finished Breath of the Wild (to some extent), with all 120 Shrines and memories. It felt amazing to beat the game with the Master Sword and Link’s original green tunic, and honestly I cried a little at the end. This is Nintendo’s magnum opus, and it’s what we’ve all been dreaming of since we were children. I’m happy I was alive to play it when it first released. Yes, I am crying a little bit.

  15. lol you know why I’m excited for the next pokemon game to be announced?

    We get one of those animated trailers. And it shouldn’t be too long before we get an announcement. after all, they usually occur around May

    • I’m definitely expecting an early May announcement, but I’m just concerned that it will only be for 3DS. I don’t even have a reason to doubt that anymore. I really don’t see myself devoting lots of time to the 3DS anymore, so it would be a bit disappointing if it didn’t come to the Switch.

    • Honestly I think there will be a game this year. More often than not there’s a game every year. Plus we always get a game the year after a new generation drops. Well, except with D/P. But with Black and White we got a full on sequel the following year. A game for this year is definitely still on the table, imo. Be it a sequel or a remake.

    • Ok Ok I know it’s a long shot, but does anyone else think we’ll get a new Ho-oh form and the Rainbow wing will be retconned into it’s form change item? (similar to how the orbs in RS got changed in ORAS to make Groudon/Kyogre to Primal revert). Like they seem to be playing up the Rainbow wing’s existence in this movie. I can’t seem to find a reason for that other than it either being in it’s boring old roll of calling Ho-oh and it having something to do with a form change for Ho-oh. Of course I could be wildly wrong here lol

        • Not so sure bout that. Otherwise the time for revisiting Ash’s origin story would have also passed. If they wanted to do a contained anniversary story they should have done it last year when it was actually the 20th anniversary. Also even if they were gonna do it this year( which they obviously are lol) why make Ho-oh so integral to the story. They could have easily made something else up hand just show Ho-0h in the same kind of way they did originally. It just seems suspect to me. Again not saying it’s 100% gonna happen. Just saying it seems like an odd thing.

  18. The more I think about it the more I keep coming to the conclusion that we’re missing something huge about the new movie. To me it seems unlikely that Marshadow is the only thing new in it to show off. Sure Marshadow is a (relatively) new Pokemon to market, but I can’t see it being worthy of being the star (I know what I did there lol) attraction of the movie. Usually we get a mythical Pokemon to buddy up to Ash and then there’s a bigger reveal for the enemy/hero toward the end. Look at the past movies. In the BW movies you had Victini buddy up with Ash, bt the box legends were the drawing attraction. In the Keldeo movie you had Keldeo buddy with him and then both Keldeo AND Kyurem both got new forms to show off. In The Giratina and Shaymin movie, once again the mythical got buddy buddy with Ash and then both it and Giratina got new forms. Seeing as we don’t have any other Legends that would make sense to tie in with this movie it seems obvious that Ho-oh would be the one to show case something brand new. I can’t see any of the Tapus getting a movie as they’re being covered in the show and the box legends will likely get their own movie to showcase them by themselves with some other minor stuff on the side. Necrozma I could there being a movie with the UBs. So who else would they tack onto this to draw crowds? There’s always a surprise reveal that they hold out on until almost the release of the movie. Just food for thought I suppose lol

    • I’m not sure you can do it with a sword, but using a shield definitely works. And I think it needs to be able to take a hit otherwise it’ll break before it deflects the beam. It might break and deflect though, I’m not sure.

      • If you succesfully parry, the shield won’t suffer any damage. You can do it with the worst shield in the game if you get the timing right

        Reply

    • Shield parry. ZL and A with good timing. It takes some practice to get it down right, but my best advice is hold ZL so you are targeting the Guardian, and then as soon as you hear the shot fire, press A. Decayed Guardians die in one hit, walking Guardians take a minimum of 3.
