Keep an eye out for regional Flabébé variations, including Red Flower in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Blue Flower in the Asia-Pacific region, and Yellow Flower in the Americas. If you’re lucky, you might even come across White or Orange Flower Flabébé, regardless of where you are.

Other Pokémon appearing more frequently in the wild include Paras, Natu, Joltik, and various Burmy forms. For an added challenge, you’ll find Dialga and Enamorus (Incarnate Forme) in Five-Star Raids, with Mega Medicham and Mega Tyranitar taking centre stage in Mega Raids. Both raid and wild encounters offer a chance to catch some rare Shiny Pokémon if you’re fortunate.

For collectors, two km Eggs hatched during the event hold Pokémon like Togepi, Azurill, Budew, and Dedenne. Meanwhile, completing Field Research tasks will reward encounters with Burmy and Nymble. Don’t miss the event-themed Timed Research and Collection Challenge, which offers rewards such as Stardust, Poké Balls, and more encounters with event-themed Pokémon.

To top it all off, PokéStop Showcases will also feature event-themed Pokémon, so keep an eye out. Don’t forget to visit the Pokémon Go Web Store, where you can stock up on all resources necessary to kickstart your journey.
