Summary
Pokemon GOhas officially announced the Scorching Steps event, which will see the debut of Larvesta’s shiny variant.Pokemon GOholds multiple limited-time events every season, giving fans of the augmented reality mobile game plenty of reason to frequently log back in.
Pokemon GOjust recently wrapped up Season 14 and has now launched Season 15. WhereasPokemon GOSeason 14 primarily revolved around Ultra Beasts, the theme for Season 15 is Shared Skies. Season 15 includes the debut of Necrozma, the annual Pokemon GO Fest celebration,Marshadow’s global releasethrough paid Special Research, and a variety of limited-time events.
One of the first-limited time events coming as part ofPokemon GO’s Shared Skies seasonis Scorching Steps, which will run from Friday, June 21 at 10:00am local time to Tuesday, June 25 at 8:00pm. During the event,Pokemon GOplayers can look forward to 2x candy from hatching eggs, 1/2 egg hatch distance for eggs placed in incubators, and 1/4 egg hatch distance for the first three eggs added to thePokemon GOegg hatching widget after the event is live. Additionally,Pokemon GOplayers have increased odds of finding shiny variants of Slugma and Litleo, with shiny Larvesta also making its debut.
5 km Eggs
10km Eggs
Those wanting to add shiny Larvesta to their collection should note that the Pokemon will primarily be available through 2 km, 5 km, and 10 km eggs during the event. Hatching a shiny Larvesta will be extremely rare, so the odds of getting a shiny are low, butPokemon GOplayers are encouraged to give it a shot while the event is still active. Besides Larvesta, thePokemon GOegg poolswill consist of other Fire-type Pokemon.
ThePokemon GOegg pools aren’t the only thing getting a shake-up during the Scorching Steps event. Players can also look forward to specialField Research tasksthat give them encounters with Slugma, Litleo, and Turtonator. Timed Research that challenges players to hatch eggs will snag them additional encounters with Fire-type Pokemon, plus Stardust and bonus XP.
AnyPokemon GOplayers needing to add someFire-type Pokemonto their collection should definitely be sure to participate in the Scorching Steps event while it’s live from June 21 to June 25. In the meantime, there will be other limited-time events forPokemon GOplayers to look forward to as well, though details on what those will entail have not been announced at the time of this writing.
