Niantic is continuing to announce new events and content for Pokémon GO. Read on below to learn more:
Live, Laugh, Love during Pokémon GO’s Carnival of Love
Follow your heart to event bonuses, the debut of Shiny Oricorio, Heart Trim Furfrou, and more.
Grab your favorite dance partner, Trainers, because Shiny Oricorio is boogeying its way into Pokémon GO to celebrate the Carnival of Love! From February 13, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. to February 15, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. local time, you can bask in the beauty of event bonuses, such as an increased chance to receive Candy XL when walking with your buddy and two guaranteed Candy XL for evolving Pokémon.
Dress your favorite Furfrou for the occasion in a darling Heart Trim by using the Change Form button on its summary page. Changing your Furfrou’s trim costs 25 Furfrou Candy and 10,000 Stardust, but it’s well worth the investment to get your Poodle Pokémon looking its finest for the Carnival of Love. You can even pick a bouquet of Roserade—or one, at least—via the Carnival of Love Collection Challenge. Trainers that complete the challenge will receive XP, Stardust, and an encounter with Roserade.
