Valentine s Day 2022 event spawns and bonuses in Poké mon Go There are three bonuses running throughout the Valentine's Day 2022 event in Pokémon Go, including your buddy Pokémon bringing items to you more often and the duration for Lure Modules doubling. The best bonus, however, is that you'll receive double catch candy throughout the event. This is incredibly useful if you're trying to evolve any of the Pokémon appearing more frequently during the event or are collecting candy for Gen 2 Pokémon in preparation for Go Tour: Johto. Aside from the bonuses, the other main attraction for Valentine's Day 2022 is the release of Flabébé and its evolutions - Floette and Florges. These fairy-type Pokémon hail from Gen 6 and you'll have to meet a special requirement if you wish to evolve Floette into Florges. Flabébé, Floette and Florges can now be caught in Pokémon Go. Flabébé has five different flower colours to collect, some of which are regionally exclusive, and will be appearing more frequently in the wild alongside the following Pokémon: Chansey Miltank Plusle Minun Volbeat Illumise Luvdisc Woobat Audino Alomomola Furfrou - Natural Form Natural Form Furfrou. The Heart Trim for Furfuro is also available for the first time during the Valentine's Day 2022 event and, if you find the correct field research tasks, you'll also have the chance to catch Heart Pattern Spinda. Both Gardevoir and Gallade have a special bonus during this year's Valentine's Day event too! If you evolve a Kirlia into either of these Pokémon during the event, the resulting Pokémon will learn the Charged Attack Sychronoise. Gardevoir and Gallade will also be appearing in three-star raids throughout the event, alongside Nidoqueen, Nidoking and Lickitung. Meanwhile, in one-star raids, you'll find Miltank, Roselia, Audino and Natural Form Furfrou. Registeel is currently ruling five-star raids and Mega Houndoom can be fought in Mega Raids. Finally, there's a Global Valentines Challenge running until Tuesday, 15th February at the following times: UK - 8am (GMT) Europe - 9am (CEST) East Coast US - 3am (EST) West Coast US - 12am (PST) If Pokémon Go players collectively send 70,000,000 Gifts during this time period, everyone will enjoy a triple transfer candy bonus until the deadline above. Currently live is the Evolving Stars event, which includes the release of quest steps 5 to 8 of A Cosmic Companion - the Season of Light special research quest. Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres. There's also a new special research quest - A Mysterious Incense. Finally - don't forget about the new Prime Gaming rewards every fortnight. How the Valentine s Day Collection Challenges work in Poké mon Go The Valentine's Day 2022 event Collection Challenges, along with the other bonuses, will only be available between Thursday, 10th February to Monday, 14th February at 8pm (local time). Like previous Collection Challenges, you need to obtain a specific list of Pokémon through either catching them in the wild or another method, such as evolutions or trading. Once the Collection Challenge is completed, you'll receive a reward and it will be added to your Elite Collector medal. Collection Challenges can be found in the 'Today View' screen, which is accessed by pressing the field research button - the little binoculars - in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. You may have to scroll to the left if you've been looking at the field or special research screens. When you catch a Pokémon on the Collection Challenge roster it will be ticked off this list, helping you keep track of which ones you're missing. The Pokémon will be ticked for the Collection Challenge list as you catch them. Remember - you only have until 8pm (local time) on Monday, 14th February to complete the two Valentine's Day 2022 Collection Challenges. Hope you enjoy the Valentine's Day event and find a Flabébé!
