We give you an overview of all new Pokémon and the events that await you.
Giovanni brings Shiny Raikou with him
Here’s how Giovanni continues: The next special research with Giovanni will be ready in February. Whoever solves these can end up challenging the Rocket boss and catching a crypto raikou if they win.
–
When does special research start? Who already in January last special research with Giovanni has completed the new research since midnight.
Alternatively, you have to pass the last special research before you get the new tasks. If you also encounter Giovanni through the latest research, he will also have Raikou. Lavados is history and was only available in January.

What is Fleknoil? The Psycho and Flight type Pokémon is somewhat reminiscent of Zubat. If you have enough sweets, it will develop into Fletiamo.
New Pokémon Boreos appears in raids
When does Boreos come? The legendary Pokémon replaces Heatran and will be released on February 4th at 10 p.m. You can fight it for almost a month, because it only disappears on February 25th at 10 p.m.
–
This is special about Boreos: The legendary Pokémon has two forms. At first, it will probably appear in the incarnation form. But there is still the animal spirit form, which also has other values.
How good is Boreos? The Pokémon is of the flight type and is one of them best attackers, A detailed analysis will follow soon on MeinMMO.
How do you counter Boreos? The Pokémon is vulnerable to the types of electric, ice and rock. We will publish the best counterattacks against Boreos shortly.
Sinnoh event brings Shiny Riolu
Then the event starts: This event only lasts for a weekend. Bonuses are active from February 7th at 8:00 AM local time to February 10th at 10:00 AM local time.
What is there in the Sinnoh event? The focus here is primarily on hatching eggs. There are the following bonuses:
- In 7 km eggs you will only find Sinnoh Pokémon such as Knospi, Wadribie, Bronzel, Kaumalat, Riolu, Hippopotas and Mantirps
- There is special field research available from Sinnoh Pokémon and Stones
- Shiny Riolu and Shiny Hippopotas will be available in Pokémon GO for the first time
–
How good will the event be? This weekend you have to run and hatch a lot. The two new Shinys will probably be quite rare in the future. Riolu in particular is rarely found in eggs. As Shiny, it should be even rarer.
Kaumalat in the eggs should also be interesting. It remains to be seen whether it stays as rare as in the 10 km eggs, but if not, then you have a good chance of a shiny.
The fieldwork for this event has already been leaked, There it seems that at least the spawns in the wild have also changed. After all, you have to catch, for example, the Gen 4 starters, which are quite rare without an increase.
Valentine’s Day brings Shiny Chaneira and Raid Day
Then the event starts: This event is also only a weekend long and starts on February 14th at 8 a.m. local time. Bonuses are available until February 17th at 10 a.m. local time.

- Ohrdoch and Mamolida appear in Pokémon GO for the first time
- Normal lock modules are active for 6 hours during the event
- Double candies when catching Pokémon
- Shiny Wonneira hatches from eggs and Shiny Chaneira appears in the wild

What you know about the spawns: The field research has already leaked here, So there should be more flegmon, hop sprout, Liebiskus and Flurmel in the wilderness. Further spawns are conceivable.
Raid day with Shiny Schlurp
During the Valentine’s Day event there will also be a raid day with shuffling. It runs on February 15 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
In the 3 hours you will find a shuffle raid on every arena. The shuffle can then also appear as a shiny.

Schlurp will also master the Bodyslam charging attack. This will be available as an exclusive attack.
Friendship weekend with more gifts

So even on Monday, where the event ends at 10 a.m., you should have opened the maximum of gifts beforehand.
Pokémon GO is testing two new events
This is the spotlight hour: This event will be all about a Pokémon for an hour. The monster is not yet known and should be a surprise, according to Niantic.
