Hello Trainers! A bundle of text updates has been pushed to Pokémon GO, including texts for the Rainy Lure, special evolution requirements, an April Fools day event, a new Collection challenge, and more.
Read the Pokéminers post here. All of our usual data mining disclaimers apply: this is not affiliated with Niantic, features change and get scrapped all the time. You’ve been warned!
Rainy Lure
A new Lure Module has been spotted! Rainy Lure Module texts indicates that it attracts Pokémon that love the rain, but also causing some Pokémon to evolve. Sliggoo comes to mind. No icons spotted for time being, but we assume it will look blue.
Data mined texts
RESOURCE ID: item_troy_disk_rainy_name TEXT: Rainy Lure Module RESOURCE ID: item_troy_disk_rainy_desc TEXT: A wet Lure Module that attracts Pokémon for 30 minutes, especially ones that love the rain. It can also cause some Pokémon to evolve.
Evolution Texts
A handful of new evolution related texts were pushed. This are quality of life updates for current and future evolutions, clarifying how certain Pokémon evolve.
We are especially interested in the special_evo_prompt_rain, which indicates that Pokémon GO will support Pokémon that usually can only evolve if the in-game weather is Rainy.
Pokémon that these new evolution methods could introduce:
- Sliggoo evolves in the main series games if it’s Rainy weather
- Tyrunt only evolves during the day
- Amaura only evolves at night
- Inkay evolves when your console (in our case phone) is upside down

Snivy in the Sunshine Special Research
Standard Community Day 4 Step Quest, with a cute storyline and tasks which can be easily completed during the event.
The Special Research – Step 1
RESOURCE ID: quest_title_snivt_0 TEXT: Snivy in the Sunshine (1/4) RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_0_0 TEXT: Hey there, %PLAYERNAME%! RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_0_1 TEXT: I just got back from a long walk in the sunshine and I have to say, it felt pretty amazing. RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_0_2 TEXT: Did you know even taking a short walk can boost your energy? Say, that reminds me of something interesting I saw while I was out stretching my legs. RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_0_3 TEXT: It was particularly sunny this morning which seemed to encourage a group of Snivy to emerge from the foliage to sun themselves. RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_0_4 TEXT: Seeing so many of the Grass Snake Pokémon in one area was very unusual, could you assist me in looking further into this situation? RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_0_5 TEXT: As I recall, they are very calm creatures, so you should be able to observe them easily in order to assist with researching this phenomena. RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_0_6 TEXT: Best of luck, and remember to enjoy the walk, it’s good for your health!
It’s interesting that the texts for step one mention going for a walk, so we’ll see if there’s actually a walking component to this research or if it’s just Professor Willow talking.
The Special Research – Step 2
RESOURCE ID: quest_title_snivt_1 TEXT: Snivy in the Sunshine (2/4) RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_1_0 TEXT: Ah, welcome back, Trainer! RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_1_1 TEXT: I see you were successful encountering a sunning Snivy on your walk, great work! Referencing the Pokédex, I remembered why Snivy love the sun so much. RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_1_2 TEXT: This Grass-type Pokémon photosynthesize by bathing their tails in sunlight. Much like the sunlight they crave, Snivy are quite bright! RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_1_3 TEXT: Intelligent and calm, they were first enountered in the Unova region. RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_1_4 TEXT: While we continue to document this situation, could you evolve your Snivy for me? I’d like to be able to document its next stage of evolution, Servine. RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_1_5 TEXT: Once you do, take care - they are quite masterful with whipping techniques.
Evolve Snivy.
The Special Research – Step 3
RESOURCE ID: quest_title_snivt_2 TEXT: Snivy in the Sunshine (3/4) RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_2_0 TEXT: Wonderful work, %PLAYERNAME%! That is quite the fine looking Servine. RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_2_1 TEXT: Also known as the Grass Snake Pokémon, it moves along the ground as if sliding. While quite swift, it will retreat to the shadows of thick foliage to avoid attacks. RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_2_2 TEXT: We have collected plenty of research about Snivy and Servine to document this situation, I’d like to make sure we close this out with making sure we cover its next evolution, Serperior. RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_2_3 TEXT: Known as the Regal Pokémon. Much like Snivy and Servine, it loves the sunlight. It takes in solar energy and boosts it internally. RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_2_4 TEXT: How about you evolve your Servine into Serperior, sounds like you’ll have a powerful Grass-type Pokémon to join your journey with you once you are done!
Evolve Servine
The Special Research – Step 4
RESOURCE ID: quest_title_snivt_3 TEXT: Snivy in the Sunshine (4/4) RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_3_0 TEXT: Fantastic job, Trainer! Looks like Serperior will be a great asset when it comes to battling other Trainers. RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_3_1 TEXT: It can stop its opponents' movements with just a glare. If the glare isn’t successful on its opponent, it will give its all in battle. RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_3_2 TEXT: I hope you follow the example of this Grass-type Pokémon, %PLAYERNAME%, and give it your all when it comes to becoming a great Pokémon Trainer! RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_3_3 TEXT: Thank you again for all your help documenting this situation, all this chatter about walks and sunshine has me itching to go back outside for another dose of fresh air. RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_snivt_3_4 TEXT: Be safe and happy exploring. Until next time, let’s GO!
Fantastic Job!
