Pokemon GO is undergoing an exciting transformation with a series of updates that introduce new features and enhance existing ones. The Rediscover Kanto event is a prime opportunity for players to engage with a variety of captivating Pokemon from the Kanto region.
To commemorate the biome update, Niantic has scheduled the Rediscover Kanto event to take place between April 22, 2024, and May 9, 2024. In addition to special research activities, players can leverage the new biomes to encounter Kantonian Pokemon, some of which have been boosted to appear in shiny form. Here is a breakdown of the Pokemon with featured attacks and biome spawns during the event.
Discover Kanto Event: Pokemon with Featured Attacks & Shiny Boosts
The Rediscover Kanto event offers players the chance to capture the beloved Kanto starters featuring special attacks. It's important to note that these bonuses are exclusive to the event period. Evolving a Pokemon after the event will not grant it the featured attack. Moreover, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle will have increased shiny appearances throughout the event.
Discover Kanto: Explore Biome Spawns
While Pokemon enthusiasts may be familiar with biomes from titles like Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, this feature is a recent addition to Pokemon GO. Biomes serve as virtual representations of real-world environments within the game. Players are more likely to encounter beach biomes near water bodies and urban biomes in city settings. However, the system allows for surprises, such as ocean biomes appearing in unexpected locations. Here are the various biome spawns in Pokemon GO.
