Pokémon Go Water Festival Brings Special Bonuses
By Zac Cameron ·
Kick off summer with the awesome Pokémon Go Water Festival that's bringing a ton of water Pokémon to help cool things down.
It’s heating up in the real world, and that means it’s time to cool down with the Pokémon Go Water Festival. Kicking off from June 7th at 1pm PDT and running until June 21st, the Water Festival will be bringing a large increase in the number of Water type Pokémon appearing in Pokémon Go. Expect to see a lot more Magikarp and Wailmer popping up around the place, as well as some shiny Pokémon too.
In addition to the increased Water type Pokémon, players will also be able to earn up to three times the normal rate of Stardust for catching Water type Pokémon, and 2km eggs will be hatching exciting Pokémon such as Totodile, Mudkip, and Corphish, with double the regular Candy and Stardust earned for every egg.
If that wasn’t enough, there will also be a tone of powerful Water type Pokémon making their appearance in Raid Battles, including the legendary Pokémon Kyogre. Players who manage to challenge Kyogre and come out on top can earn the elusive Shiny version as a reward, so keep on your toes. If you’re looking for help in catching Kyogre, check out our handy Raid Guide, here, and for more information on the event, check out the Official Website, here.
