Water Festival returns in Pokemon GO today

Pokemon GO is bringing back its Water Festival later today. Starting at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 9 PM in the UK / 10 PM in Europe, Water-type Pokemon will appear more frequently. Some Trainers may even encounter a rare Shiny Shellder for the very first time. Field Research tasks highlighting Water-type Pokemon will be live as well.

During the Water Festival, you’ll be able to earn 3x Stardust for catching Water-type Pokemon. 2 km Eggs will hatch Pokemon such as Totodile, Mudkip, and Corphish as well. For each Egg hatched, you can earn Double Candy and Stardust.

Lastly, Raid Battles will feature powerful Water-type Pokemon, including the return of Kyogre. You may encounter its Shiny form if you prevail while battling the Legendary Pokemon.
