The 2017 Holiday event has been live for a while now, so it's time to look back at everything about this event, because there are some surprise effects.
SIX-HOUR LURES: Six-hour Lures weren't included in the original announcement, but it would seem that Niantic wanted to have some surprise factor to this event. They Tweeted out that we'll have Lure Modules last for six hours until January 4.
NEW SPECIES: Twenty new species of Pokémon are now spawning! Delibird and most of the Generation 3 Water-types and Ice-types have come to Pokémon GO. The confirmed Pokémon include: Feebas, Milotic, Spheal, Sealeo, Walrein, Snorunt, Glalie, Lotad, Lombre, Ludicolo, Corphish, Crawdaunt, Carvanha, Sharpedo, Luvdisc, Barboach, Whiscash, Wailmer, and Wailord.
Relicanth was also included in the leak and promo art for these new Pokémon, but we have seen no reports of it. If you have a credible report of you catching one, Tweet it to us (@PNN_APTV). The promo art also featured Kyogre, one of the main Legendary Pokémon of Generation 3, which has not been released. However, this would confirm that Kyogre will be the next Legendary Raid Boss.
NEW RAIDS: Speaking of Raids, Wailmer has been confirmed to be the newest Tier 1 Raid Boss. You will certainly want to do those Wailmer Raids, as Wailmer takes 400 Candy to evolve into Wailord.
SHINY SNORUNT & GLALIE: It has been confirmed that Shiny Snorunt and Glalie are now available. Should the event function like the Halloween Event, we may see more Shiny Pokémon from Generation 3 released as we go along. Speaking of Generation 3, it would seem like the spawn rates of Generation 3 Pokémon have been increased.
Thanks for reading, Trainers! We'll see you soon! Good luck finding your new Pokémon!
