Pokémon GO fans, get ready for the exciting Beloved Buddies event, which is set to launch soon with a variety of surprises, including new Pokémon debuts, bonuses, and thrilling raids. This event is all about enhancing the bond between you and your Pokémon, making it a must-not-miss for all trainers.
When Is the Beloved Buddies Event Kicking Off in Pokémon GO?
The Beloved Buddies event in Pokémon GO is scheduled to run from February 11th to February 15th. This is your chance to deepen your connections with your Pokémon and experience the debut of Dhelmise, the Sea Creeper Pokémon. Not only can you add Dhelmise to your collection, but you'll also have the opportunity to battle it in raids.
During the event, you'll earn double XP for catching Pokémon, and Lure Modules will last for a full hour. These Lures will attract a diverse array of Pokémon, including Diglett, Slowpoke, Shellder, Dunsparce, Cutiefly, and Fomantis. Catching any of these will reward you with an additional 500 Stardust per catch, making it an excellent opportunity to boost your resources.
The event also features a robust lineup of wild Pokémon appearing more frequently. Keep an eye out for Shiny Diglett and Shiny Dunsparce, which will be more common during Beloved Buddies. Other Pokémon you can expect to see more often include Nidoran, Diglett, Slowpoke, Shellder, Dunsparce, Remoraid, Mantine, Plusle, Minun, Volbeat, Illumise, Cutiefly, and Fomantis.
Raids during the event will offer a range of challenges, from one-star to mega raids. One-star raids will feature Shellder, Dwebble, and Skrelp, with Skrelp having an increased chance of appearing in its shiny form. Three-star raids will bring Slowbro, Hippowdon, and the debuting Dhelmise to the forefront.
For those looking for a tougher challenge, five-star raids will showcase Enamorus in its Incarnate Forme, while Mega Raids will feature the formidable Mega Tyranitar. Make sure to download Pokémon GO from the Google Play Store and immerse yourself in the Beloved Buddies event when it starts.
