Players can team up with others sporting Poison-type and Steel-type Pokemon to make their battles against the Mega Evolution easier. Players will also be able to participate in timed research during the event for rewards, which include 10,000 Stardust among other incentives.
For April Fools this year,Pokemon GOhas unleashed Poke Ball-shaped objectsaround the world map, but they turn out to either be Voltorb, Electrode, or other Pokemon shaped like Poke Balls when clicked on. The event will only last for the day of April 1, so fans hoping to get in on the joke should try and play today. Last year’s April Fools event turned any throw better than “nice” into an “excellent” one, which gave trainers a higher chance to catch sought-after Pokemon.
