Pokémon GO Fest 2024 Incense Spawns
Unown, Unown, And More Unown
Trainers who purchase aPokémon GOFest 2024 ticket will get the chance to encounterUnown A, Unown D, Unown G, Unown H, Unown I, Unown N, Unown T, and Unown Ywhenever they use Incense during event hours (10 AM to 6 PM). These Unown spawns aren’t exclusive to specific Habitats, which means you don’t need to keep track of a schedule to find them.
If you’re wondering why these Unown letters were chosen, it’s because they spell out DAY and NIGHT. This is likely because the event focuses on Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma.
Alongside these Unown spawns, there will also be one exclusive Incense spawn per Habitat to enjoy:Maractusduring the Dawn Meadow Habitat,Corsoladuring the Shining Day Habitat,Rockruffduring the Creeping Dusk Habitat, andVullabyduring the Darkest Night Habitat. All of these Pokémon have a chance of being shiny except for Maractus.
Best Pokémon To Catch During GO Fest 2024
Rare Creatures And GO Battle League Stars
There are loads of great Pokémon to catch during GO Fest 2024, but some are undeniably better than others. If you’re looking for the rarest creatures, some of the best ones to focus on areTyrunt, Amaura, and Axew. These three rarely spawn in the wild, but they’ll be fairly common during this event, so fill out your Pokedex by catching and evolving them.
If you’re a fan of thePokémon GOBattle League, make sure you catch plenty ofGalarian Stunfisk, Gligar, Carbink, and Mudkip(for its final evolution Swampert), as these are allstandouts in the Great League.Phantumpis another great pick, as its evolution, Trevenant, is a beast in both the Great League and the Ultra League. It also costs a massive 200 Candy to evolve, so this is a great time to stock up on the necessary resources.
If you’re trying to evolve some of the wild spawns appearing duringPokémon GOFest 2024, verify youuse Pinap Berrieswhen catching them to get extra Candy.
There are also quite a few PvE champions spawning across the event’s Habitats.Gible’s final evolution Garchompis one of the best Dragon-type and Ground-type attackers in the game, whileDeino’s final evolution Hydreigonis an excellent Dark-type attacker to have in your collection. If you don’t already have these inPokémon GO, make sure you stock up on enough Candy to evolve them.
