Get ready for Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn – Global

[ad_1]

Annual Pokémon GO Tours are an incredible opportunity for Trainers to catch elusive Pokémon, rack up Candy and Stardust, and meet coveted Shiny Pokémon. Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn – Global, taking place on February 25-26, 2023, from 10am to 6pm local time each day, is no exception. There’s a lot happening in just two days, so Trainers hoping to make the most of the event can get a head start. Here are five things you can do right now to move forward in the adventure that celebrates Hoenn.

To start, you will choose a Ruby or Sapphire badge. During the event, Trainers can represent their chosen team by completing Field Research tasks. The team that completes the most tasks per hour will determine which Pokémon appear in the wild and which Pokémon emerge in Primal Raids! If Team Sapphire floods the competition by completing the majority of Field Research, Trainers will see increased Primal Kyogre raids and more encounters with Minun, Illumise, Wailmer, Lunatone, and Rainy Form Castform. If Team Ruby comes into play, Groudon’s Primal Raids will break out more frequently and Trainers will be more likely to see Plusle, Volbeat, Trapinch, Solrock, and Sunny Form Castform. And don’t be discouraged if your team doesn’t win – work on those field research tasks and the tide could turn in your favor the next hour.

You will have the opportunity to catch many Pokémon during the Pokémon GO Tour, but the big question is: will you have enough storage space for these Pokémon? The last thing you want during the event is to have to interrupt your tour of beautiful Hoenn to transfer Pokémon because you’ve run out of space. Luckily, the maximum Pokémon Storage capacity was recently increased to 6,250 and the Item Bag capacity was increased to 5,250. If you haven’t already, you can take advantage of this by purchasing the additional storage. It’s also a good idea to transfer your extra Pokémon before the event in case the expanded storage doesn’t cut it. And don’t forget to pay attention to your Egg supply, because the following event Pokémon will be hatching from Eggs.

2km Eggs: Pichu, Igglybuff, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Azurill, and Wynaut

5km Eggs: Surskit, Gulpin, and Cacnea

7km Eggs: Trapinch, Feebas, Bagon, and Beldum

10km Eggs: Torkoal, Tropius, and Relicanth

Whether you’re looking for Shiny Pokémon, are missing some entries in your Pokédex, or are looking for Pokémon to complete your GO Battle League team, it can be difficult to focus with so many things to do. But knowing which Pokémon you can expect to encounter and how you can find them, whether in eggs, raids, or specific habitats, is a good first step. If you plan to participate in many raids, power up the Pokémon you intend to use in those raids. If you are interested in a Pokémon that will appear in a specific habitat, be sure to play when that habitat is active.

The following Pokémon will appear in raids.

There are four themed habitats that will rotate throughout the event. Different Pokémon will appear in the wild when each habitat is active. Check out the list below to see which Pokémon are attracted to which habitats.

Battle-ready Trainers won’t want to miss the opportunity to stock up on Catch Candy to pump up these GO Battle League regulars.

As always, research will play a big part in the Pokémon GO Tour. In addition to Special Field Research, which you can collect by spinning PokéStops, there are two great research opportunities: Special Research: Hunting Legends and Masterwork Research: wish granted. During the first one, Rhi from the GO Ultra Recon Squad will ask you to research red and blue orbs, which appear to be connected to Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon. You don’t have to buy a ticket for Special Research: Chasing Legends, but keep an eye on your searches throughout the weekend to make sure you don’t miss a thing.

Trainers can purchase a ticket to Masterwork Research: Wish Granted for US$4.99 (or the equivalent price tier in your local currency). Tickets are available for purchase through March 20, 2023, 10 PM PDT. But if you know you’ll be doing the research, it’s a good idea to buy your ticket in advance so you can spend the event working on your research tasks. As a reward for completing the quest, Trainers will earn an encounter with Shiny Jirachi—a wish come true!

In addition to making sure you have all the equipment you need in Pokémon GO (Poké Balls, Raid Tickets, Berries, and more), it’s important to collect the necessary supplies outside of the game as well. Whether you plan to play all day or for a short period of time, it’s a good idea to consume drinks and snacks to ensure you are well fueled. Bring a phone charger to make sure you don’t run out of charge. If you plan on walking a lot, make sure you wear comfortable shoes. Sunscreen is always a good idea if you’re going outside, even if it’s not particularly sunny or hot. It’s more fun to play with friends, so consider meeting up with friends for raids and other Pokémon GO adventures. And, as always, be aware of your surroundings as you play.

Host a Tour-riffic event, Trainers!
