Event priorities
- Solosis and Gothita are the highlights of this event. We suggest using Incense while playing and trying to obtain them during the event hours. Niantic did say that they will be available after the event, but we’re not sure how rare they will be.
- Shiny Baltoy is an attractive option to hunt for, but given the global health situation we advise against that. Shiny hunting takes time and requires you to stay outside for a while, which is against all health recommendations brought upon us by Coronavirus.
- Don’t sleep on Drowzee! Hypno is a surprisingly versatile Pokémon in the Great League, ranking #52 at PvPoke at the moment. If you don’t have a good Hypno for GL matchups, we recommend that you work your way through Drowzee spawns until you find an appropriate one. You need 50 Candy and 50k Dust to unlock a second move for Hypno.
