Unleash the Power: Discover the "High Zaptitude" Event
Event Overview: Electrifying Celebrations and New Discoveries
From January 13th to 18th, Pok￩mon Go players can immerse themselves in the "High Zaptitude" event, a dynamic celebration spotlighting electric-type Pok￩mon. A key highlight is the debut of the shiny variant of Tadbulb, adding a coveted collectible for enthusiasts. The event also features a global exploration challenge, rewarding collective player efforts with progressive bonuses. These include enhanced experience points for capturing Pok￩mon, the first appearance of Wattrel in both the wild and field research upon reaching specific milestones, and increased XP and Stardust for hatching Pok￩mon.
Premium Research: Exclusive Opportunities and Rewards
For a modest fee of $1.99, trainers can access exclusive premium timed research, offering abundant encounters with Tadbulb and a significant reduction in egg hatching distances throughout the event. This special research is particularly valuable for those actively seeking a shiny Tadbulb, providing a streamlined path to multiple encounters and essential in-game items like Incubators. The research is divided into two phases, each culminating in Tadbulb encounters and substantial experience points, along with a standard Incubator in the first phase and a Super Incubator in the second.
Field Research: Diverse Encounters and New Arrivals
Engaging with Pok￩Stops during the "High Zaptitude" event provides access to special field research tasks. Completing these tasks can lead to encounters with various electric-type Pok￩mon, such as Chinchou, Tynamo, Helioptile, Emolga, Yamper, and Tadbulb. Furthermore, once the global challenge's second tier is achieved, an additional field research task will become available, offering players the chance to encounter Wattrel, marking its exciting entry into the game's ecosystem.
Boosted Spawns: Wild Encounters Galore
The wilderness will be abuzz with an increased frequency of specific electric-type Pok￩mon during the event. Trainers can anticipate more common sightings of Chinchou, Shinx, Helioptile, and Tadbulb. Additionally, community observations indicate boosted appearances of classic electric Pok￩mon like Pikachu, Alolan Geodude, Hisuian Voltorb, Blitzle, Emolga, Tynamo, Dedenne, and Yamper. The successful completion of the second global challenge will also trigger Wattrel's emergence in the wild, further enriching the exploration experience.
Egg Hatches: Surprises from 2 KM Eggs
During the event, 2 KM eggs acquired will have a chance to hatch a selection of electric-themed Pok￩mon. This includes Pichu, Elekid, Toxel, and Tadbulb. Notably, Tadbulb hatched from these eggs will have an elevated probability of being a shiny variant, offering an exciting prospect for trainers hoping to add this luminous form to their collection right from its infancy.
