Here’s what’s up with the Chicago’s enormous Pokemon Go Fest 2021 egg

Leave a comment

A mysterious egg installation was erected in Maggie Daley Park in Chicago this week leading many to speculate what it could be. It turns out its part of an extra special Pokemon Go Fest 2021 for the Windy City.

The egg will be part of a Legendary Night raid egg event at the park running from 9 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. According to a news release, “Attendees will see Legendary Pokémon raids take place live, with Trainers all over the world and in Maggie Daley park teaming up to catch some of the rarest Pokémon live, projected onto a 50-foot-tall Pokémon Egg.”

In addition, Chicago’s event will be the biggest. Niantic will have street teams doing giveaways to players around downtown. It will also have the special photo-ops in Navy Pier and Ogden Plaza. Niantic said brand ambassadors will be distributing wristbands to the first 1,000 people at Maggie Daley Park on Saturday. Attendance is limited to offer socially distance space for all participants.

As someone going to San Francisco’s Pokemon Go Fest 2021 City Activation, I’m a little bit jealous of our friends over in Chicago. Niantic will have its own photo-ops along the Embarcadero, Fisherman’s Wharf, North Beach and Union Square. Chicago gets the extra special treatment because of its relationship with Niantic, holding the past few Pokemon Go Fests in the U.S.

Everything You Need to Know About Mareep Incense Day

Leave a comment

Pokemon Go‘s latest Incense Day is here to celebrate the arrival of Mega Ampharos into the popular mobile title. From 11 AM to 5 PM local time today, either Dragon-type or Electric-type Pokemon will spawn when you have Incense active. Additionally, Electric-type Pokemon will appear via Incense spawns from 11 AM to 1 PM and from 2 PM to 4 PM while Dragon-type Pokemon will appear via Incense spawns from 1 PM and 2 PM and from 4 PM to 5 PM. Additionally, Mareep will appear more often overall from Incense during the entire event. To help players participate in the Incense Day event, Pokemon Go is selling 3 Incense for 1 Poke Coin.

In addition to Mareep appearing more often during the event, any Ampharos evolved during the event will know the move Dragon Pulse, a move that it previously could only learn during a 2018 Community Day. Dragon Pulse is particularly handy when Ampharos Mega Evolves, as Mega Ampharos is an Electric/Dragon-type Pokemon and would gain a same type attack bonus when using the attack.

Pokemon confirmed to appear during the Incense Event includes: Pikachu, Magnemite, Voltorb, Chinchou, Mareep, Plusle, Minun, Stunfisk, Horsea, Dratini, Trapinch, Vibrava, Swablu, and Bagon. Note that Plusle, Minun, and Bagon are all needed to complete the Hoenn Celebration Event’s Collection Challenge.

In addition to today’s Incense Day, Pokemon Go is also hosting the aforementioned Hoenn Celebration Event, which features increased spawns of various Pokemon from the Hoenn region. This includes the addition of Groudon and Kyogre in 5-Star Raids through tomorrow, Monday January 25th. The game will then jump into a Johto Celebration event that will give players the opportunity to have certain Pokemon evolve to learn moves that were previously exclusive to older Community Days. All of these Celebration Events are leading towards the ticketed Pokemon Go Tour: Kanto event, which gives players a chance to capture Shiny versions of every Pokemon from the Kanto region.
