The Valentine’s Day Event has arrived in Pokémon GO and with it are a number of tasks and rewards for players to strive for, including Mega Gardevoir!
Valentine’s Day has come again, and Pokémon GO is greeting it with the debut of Mega Gardevoir during its Valentine’s Day Event! Lasting from now until 8:00 p.m. local time on February 14, there are a host Valentine’s Day related activities for trainers to partake in!
First and most prominently of the Valentine’s Day activities is the bonuses related to the Raltz evolutionary line. Like with Pokémon GO’s Noibat Community Day, any Kirlia evolved into a Gallade or Gardevoir during the event’s run will know the Psychic-type Charged ATtack ‘Synchronoise.’ The same goes for any Raid Bosses caught during the Event. This applies to the Mega Gardevoir Raids as well, which are the hardest type of Raids currently in Pokémon GO, so players would do well to keep a sharp eye out for appropriate Gyms.
Pokémon GO’s Global Valentine’s Challenge
While Mega Gardevoir might be the centerpiece of 2023’s Event, it’s far from the only thing available. During the Event, gifts will grant 2x Starudst, and Lure Modules will last for two hours. There’s alsoa global challenge. Until 10:00 p.m. PST on February 14, trainers can work together to contribute to a collective gifting total.
Trainers can send anything from Star Dust to Event Ticket as gifts in Pokémon GO to their friends. If at any point during the event a total of 100,000,000 Gifts have sent Globally, all trainers will get 3x the Transfer Candy they would normally receive for the rest of the Event. Trainers level 31+ will also receive 2x the Transfer Candy XL they would normally get.
Lovely Wishes Timed Research
Lovely Wishes is a two-step Timed Research that trainers will be able to access during the Event, centered around Frillish, and trainers can choose a special bonus reward at the end. Once all the tasks of a Step has been completed, trainers will receive rewards for the entire Step.
