Get ready, Pokémon GO trainers, for the exciting Beloved Buddies event, which is set to bring a fresh wave of fun to the game. From February 11th to February 15th, you'll have the chance to deepen your bonds with your Pokémon and enjoy a variety of bonuses and surprises.
One of the highlights of this event is the debut of Dhelmise, the Sea Creeper Pokémon. This is your first opportunity to encounter and capture Dhelmise, adding it to your Pokédex and preparing for intense raid battles featuring this newcomer.
During the Beloved Buddies event, you'll earn double XP for every Pokémon you catch, making it the perfect time to level up. Lure Modules will also last for a full hour, attracting a diverse range of Pokémon such as Diglett, Slowpoke, Shellder, Dunsparce, Cutiefly, and Fomantis. Catching any of these Pokémon will reward you with an additional 500 Stardust per catch, boosting your resources significantly.
The event will feature a variety of wild Pokémon appearing more frequently, including the chance to encounter Shiny Diglett and Shiny Dunsparce. Keep an eye out for Nidoran, Diglett, Slowpoke, Shellder, Dunsparce, Remoraid, Mantine, Plusle, Minun, Volbeat, Illumise, Cutiefly, and Fomantis, as they'll be more common during this period.
Raids during the Beloved Buddies event will offer a mix of challenges. One-star raids will include Shellder, Dwebble, and Skrelp, with Skrelp having an increased chance of appearing in its Shiny form. Three-star raids will feature Slowbro, Hippowdon, and the newly introduced Dhelmise. For the ultimate challenge, five-star raids will host Enamorus in its Incarnate Forme, while Mega Raids will feature the formidable Mega Tyranitar.
Don’t miss out on this exciting event. Make sure to check out Pokémon GO on the Google Play Store and dive into the Beloved Buddies event once it launches on February 11th.
