Pokémon Go Lush Jungle spawns and events bonuses explained

The main draw of the Lush Jungle event in Pokémon Go is the release of three Gen 7 Pokémon – Tapu Lele, Fomantis and, its evolution, Lurantis.

Tapu Lele can be battled in five-star raids, while Fomantis can be caught through various means, including spawning more frequently in the wild during the Lush Jungle event.

The following Pokémon will also be appearing more frequently in the wild:

• Metapod
• Paras
• Exeggcute
• Pinsir
• Hoothoot
• Sudowoodo
• Cottonee
• Ferroseed

Shiny Cottonee has also been released as part of the Lush Jungle event, so keep an eye out for this new shiny form! This task will be made easier by how Cottonee will be appearing more frequently in park areas between 10am to 8pm (local time) on Saturday, 26th March and Sunday, 27th March.

You’ll also be able to battle Mega Charizard Y in Mega Raids and Bellsprout, Tangela, Sewaddle and Cottonee are all appearing in one-star raids. Butterfree, Vileplume, Parasect and Exeggutor are awaiting you in three-star raids.

Finally, the An Akala Adventure special research quest has been released as part of the Lush Jungle event. This is the second Alola region themed special research quest – the first being A Melemele Adventure – to be released during the Season of Alola and, by completing all four before the season ends, you’ll gain free access to an end-of-season special research quest.

Have fun during the Lush Jungle event!
