Get ready, Pokémon GO trainers! The Beloved Buddies event is bringing a wave of exciting surprises, bonuses, and challenging raids. This event focuses on strengthening your bond with your Pokémon and features the highly anticipated debut of a special Pokémon.

When Does the Beloved Buddies Event Start?

Mark your calendars! The Beloved Buddies event runs from February 11th to February 15th.

What's in Store for Trainers?

This event is all about strengthening your bonds. Dhelmise, the Sea Creeper Pokémon, makes its debut, ready to be caught and battled in raids. Catching Pokémon during the event earns you double XP, and Lure Modules are supercharged, lasting a full hour! These enhanced Lures attract a variety of Pokémon including Diglett, Slowpoke, Shellder, Dunsparce, Cutiefly, and Fomantis. Catching any of these Pokémon will also reward you with an extra 500 Stardust.

Prepare for increased wild Pokémon encounters! Shiny Diglett and Shiny Dunsparce will appear more frequently, alongside Nidoran, Diglett, Slowpoke, Shellder, Dunsparce, Remoraid, Mantine, Plusle, Minun, Volbeat, Illumise, Cutiefly, and Fomantis.

Raids offer a diverse challenge: one-star raids feature Shellder, Dwebble, and Skrelp (with an increased shiny rate for Skrelp); three-star raids include Slowbro, Hippowdon, and the debuting Dhelmise; five-star raids bring Enamorus (Incarnate Forme); and Mega Raids feature the powerful Mega Tyranitar.
