Get ready to catch some of the smallest yet most thrilling Pokémon during the Small Yet Strong event in Pokémon Go. This exciting event runs from February 5th to 8th, offering a range of bonuses, wild encounters, and fresh opportunities to enhance your collection. It's the perfect chance to strengthen your squad ahead of the upcoming Pokémon Go Tour – Unova.
During the Small Yet Strong event, you'll enjoy double XP for catching Pokémon and have a heightened chance of encountering XXS and XXL Pokémon in the wild. Among the spotlighted Pokémon, Shiny Nymble will make its debut, adding a new shiny variant to your potential catches.
Keep an eye out for regional Flabébé variations, including the Red Flower in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, the Blue Flower in the Asia-Pacific region, and the Yellow Flower in the Americas. You might also encounter the White or Orange Flower Flabébé, no matter your location.
Other Pokémon that will appear more frequently in the wild include Paras, Natu, Joltik, and various Burmy forms. For a tougher challenge, you can tackle Dialga and Enamorus (Incarnate Forme) in Five-Star Raids, while Mega Medicham and Mega Tyranitar will dominate Mega Raids. Both raid and wild encounters provide opportunities to catch rare Shiny Pokémon if luck is on your side.
For collectors, two km Eggs hatched during the event will contain Pokémon like Togepi, Azurill, Budew, and Dedenne. Completing Field Research tasks will reward you with encounters with Burmy and Nymble. Make sure not to miss the event-themed Timed Research and Collection Challenge, which offer rewards such as Stardust, Poké Balls, and more encounters with event-themed Pokémon.
To cap it all off, PokéStop Showcases will feature event-themed Pokémon, so stay vigilant. And don't forget to check out the Pokémon Go Web Store to stock up on all the resources you need to kickstart your journey.
