A new adventure awaits trainers in Pokémon GO. A new adventure week is just around the corner, and Niantic has shared more about the event. Discover which rock and fossil Pokémon will be making their first debut, which encounters you can expect and other secrets surrounding this upcoming adventure week.
The upcoming adventure week will kick off on Tuesday, June 7th and will last until Sunday, June 12th. During this period, trainers are encouraged to take out thor rock and fossil type Pokémon and spend some time with them. This event will also introduce two new Pokémon that haven’t been seen in Pokémon GO yet, along with encounters with other rock and fossil types – including a few shiny ones.
The new Pokémon being debuted are Tyrunt and Amaura. Trainers will be able to encounter them during field research or by hatching them from eggs. During the event, we’ll also see more encounters with Rhyhorn, Omanyte, Kabuto, Larvitar, Aron, Lileep, Anorith, Cranidos and Shieldon. Lucky trainers might also encounter Graveler, Aerodactyl and Pupitar.
Raids will also be featuring rock and fossil types. Trainers can look forward to encountering Geodude, Alolan Geodude, Sudowoodo and Roggenrolla during one-star raids. Three-star raids will feature Rhydon, Shuckle, Tyranitar and Aggron. Five-star raids will feature Groudon, with the possibility of encountering a shiny one. Finally, the Mega Raids will feature Mega Aerodactyl, with the possibility of encountering a shiny one.
Hatching eggs will also have an increased chance of producing a rock or fossil type. Hatching 7km eggs has a higher chance of giving Shuckle, Slugma, Cranidos, Shieldon, Tirtouga and Archen. There’s also the possibility of hatching the newly debuted Tyrunt and Amaura.
Trainers will also be able to use an XP bonus during the event. By spinning a Pokestop for the first time, trainers will earn 5x the XP, and spinning previous Pokestops will earn the player 2x the XP.
We’re glad to see that Pokémon GO isn’t being forgotten with all the current developments within Niantic, such as the Lightship AR platform. We look forward to encountering the new Pokemon during the adventure week.
