Niantic has announced a new Spring 2020 event for Pokemon GO.
It’ll include Buneary with a flower crown, and you’ll be able to more frequently encounter egg- and spring-themed Pokemon. Pokemon Eggs can hatch Pichu and Togepi with flower crowns. Additionally, Field Research tasks are planned that include encounters with Alolan Exeggutor, Azumarill, and Audino.
There will be a couple of bonuses as well. These include 2x Hatch Candy and Lucky Eggs lasting for one hour.
Below are the full details on the Spring 2020 Pokemon GO event:
Spring has sprung for those of you in the northern hemisphere, and what better way to celebrate than with a springtime event! Buneary joins the celebration by wearing a flower crown, while egg- and spring-themed Pokémon are appearing more often in the wild! Pokémon Eggs just got eggs-tra special too, as Pichu and Togepi with flower crowns will be hatching from them.
We’re continuing to prioritize Pokémon GO experiences that can be enjoyed in individual settings. You’ll receive 1/2 Hatch Distance when Eggs are placed into Incubators until further notice, so be sure to turn on Adventure Sync and make every step count.
