What to Catch in Pokemon Go Fest 2022

During the festival, players will want to be on the lookout for some Pokemon who are appearing in their Shiny forms for the first time ever. While finding a Shiny still requires quite a bit of luck, there are some ways to increase your odds that will help a lot.

First off, you’ll want to be catching all weekend between the hours of 10 AM and 6 PM your local time. That’s when the event is active and when you’ll have a chance to catch the Pokemon listed below:

  • Shroomish
  • Numel
  • Karrablast
  • Axew,
  • Shelmet

During the event hours, you will have increased odds of grabbing their Shiny versions.

Of course, the Pokemon Go Fest main Pokemon is Land Forme Shaymin, which can be caught by completing the Special Research tasks given when the event begins. You’ll also want to prioritize this Pokemon. It’s the first time Land Forme Shaymin is obtainable in-game. We don’t know when or if it will return, so don’t miss out on this opportunity.

There is also a Gracidea Pikachu appearing in one-star raids and in the wild. This version of Pikachu can also be Shiny, so put this on your list to hunt down as well.

If you’re looking to increase your odds of finding these Pokemon, stock up on Incense and Lure Modules – you’ll want to be attracting as many as possible to increase your odds of finding them.

The Pokemon Go Fest 2022 pass costs $14.99 and can be purchased in the app directly. This allows you to take part of all of the event’s activities.
