Breaking News Roundup – Go Fest Dortmund

Posted in

As Go Fest in Dortmund got underway a few hours ago, several shake-ups were made to Field Research encounters, Raid Bosses, and Wild spawns. Let’s have a look at these changes in more detail in our Breaking News Roundup of all things ‘Go Fest Dortmund’.

Field Research

Five new Field Research Quests went live with the start of Go Fest, and they all give a random encounter from the following pool of five potentially Shiny Pokémon:

Go Fest Global Field Research Tasks
Go Fest Global: Evolve 3 Pokémon Go Fest Global: Win 1 Raid Battle Go Fest Global: Win 3 Gym Battles Go Fest Global: Land 2 Curve Ball Throws in a Row Go Fest Global: Hatch 1 Egg

These tasks all reward you with an encounter with one of the following

Nidoran (M)

Magnemite Feebas Meditite Scyther

It’s safe to say that these tasks will only be available until 6pm CEST on Sunday 7th July, when Go Fest ends, at which point the non-event tasks will force-change locations.

Raid Bosses

The same five Pokémon that have been added into the Go Fest Global Field Research tasks have also been added to Raids.

  • Magnemite, Meditite, and Nidoran (M) are now in Tier 1 Raids
  • Feebas is now in Tier 2 Raids
  • Scyther is now in Tier 3 Raids

As with the Research tasks, they will likely be removed again on Sunday evening in Dortmund, when Go Fest ends.

Wild Habitat Spawns

Go Fest features several Habitats where only certain types of Pokémon spawn. This also causes Global spawns to be affected with these Habitat dwelling Pokémon appearing much more frequently around the world. We’re currently seeing increased spawns of the following Pokémon. Let us know in the comments if you’ve seen any rare Pokémon that we may have missed.

Slakoth in EMEA Region

Due to Weather issues on June’s Slakoth Community Day, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) Trainers now have another chance to catch some Slakoth and evolve a Slaking with the Exclusive Move, Body Slam. While this move currently offers very little in the way of making Slaking a viable attacker, it may be worth having one day, so be sure to take advantage of this second opportunity before it ends at 6pm CEST on Sunday July 7th. As for everyone outside of EMEA, past experience tells us that you’ll probably have another opportunity to get all of the Community Day Exclusive Moves in December.

If you’re taking part in The Silph Arena’s Jungle Cup this month, you may want to take this opportunity to farm some more candy, as Vigoroth is still looking to be the Tournament’s MVP.

New Event Box

There’s a new Event Box in the in-game Shop, as shown in the image.

While it’s still good value for the items you get, we don’t expect many Trainers will be keen to use their Pokécoins to buy Ultra Balls…
