Pokémon Go’s Small Yet Strong event brings your favourite tiny Pokémon to the forefront

The Pokémon Go "Small Yet Strong" event is almost here! From February 5th to 8th, trainers will have increased odds of encountering extra-small (XXS) and extra-large (XXL) Pokémon, plus a shiny debut.

This event offers double XP for catching Pokémon and boosted appearances of various creatures. Shiny Nymble makes its first appearance in the wild.

Keep an eye out for regional variations of Flabébé (Red Flower in EMEA, Blue Flower in Asia-Pacific, Yellow Flower in the Americas, with a chance for White or Orange Flower globally). Other increased wild spawns include Paras, Natu, Joltik, and various Burmy forms.

Raid battles present further challenges and rewards. Dialga and Enamorus (Incarnate Forme) appear in Five-Star Raids, while Mega Medicham and Mega Tyranitar dominate Mega Raids. Shiny Pokémon may appear in both raid and wild encounters.

2km Eggs will hatch Togepi, Azurill, Budew, and Dedenne. Field Research tasks reward encounters with Burmy and Nymble. A Timed Research and Collection Challenge offers Stardust, Poké Balls, and more event Pokémon. Event-themed Pokémon will also appear in PokéStop Showcases. Finally, remember to check the Pokémon Go Web Store for supplies. Prepare for a powerful, pocket-sized Pokémon adventure!
