Valentine's Day Event

[inkstone]

Today, Niantic announced that there will be an in-game Valentine's Day event for PokeGo!

During the event:

• double candy for every catch, hatch, or transfer


• increased spawns of pink pokemon (will your mod finally get a chansey & lickitung?!)


• lure modules will last for 6 (!!!) hours


• the distance required for your buddy to earn candy will be halved

Also, not included in the official announcement but are being reported on The Silph Road subreddit:

• Eggs have changed! Don't be surprised if you get unexpected hatches (e.g. oddishes from 2km eggs).


• Increased spawns of porygon. Your mod is confused about this because porygons are not pink...

Enjoy!

Chanseeeeeeeyyyy!! Wheeeee!!

I definitely specifically went out this afternoon to a pokestop-dense spot in the hopes that I'd see a Chansey on tracking, so I can't speak to what anyone else's luck might be, but I wish the best for you all.

We typically have a rare but fair number of Jigglypuff and Clefairy (under 1% of spawns), and super rare lickitung around here (seen three, ever) and in the couple hours I was out, I saw probably 15? Lickitung, and way more clefairies and jigglypuffs than I could be bothered to swerve to pick up. Those two are on Halloween meowth and ghastly level, for sure.


(Also I saw and caught my first wild porygon, but it was at the edge of a long-standing electric biome I'd been meaning to check out after recent reports, so who knows why. Bulbapedia has Porygon classified as pink, for some reason. Today I learned that Bulbapedia has pages sorting Pokemon by color.)
