A few headlines have been made in the realm of Pokémon GO in recent days. Here's a rundown.
PHASE 2 BEGINS!
The Ultra Bonus event has entered its second phase. This week features the following:
We've also had the addition of four new Pokémon to the wild. Raid-exclusive Mawile and Absol and Egg-exclusive Alolan Vulpix and Alolan Sandshrew have been spotted in the wild. At this time it is unclear whether or not this is a permanent addition to the wild spawn roster or one just for the event. In any case, all four of these Pokémon (plus the Kanto regionals) can be found in their Shiny variants out in the wild.
- All four Deoxys forms are able to be challenged in regular Legendary Raids.
- The Kanto region-exclusive Pokémon--Tauros, Mr. Mime, Kangaskhan, and Farfetch'd--can now be hatched out of 7KM Eggs until the end of the Ultra Bonus.
- Incubator effectiveness is doubled.
