When is luminous coming

That being said, Niantic refused to rest on its laurels and have worked tirelessly to refine Pokemon Go into one of the most popular augmented reality AR games on the market today. It is not just new Pokemon that Niantic are releasing into the wild in May, but also new items, timed and event-exclusive research will be available to complete during the duration of the event.

Rainy Lure Module will also be introduced to Pokemon Go. This can be used at Pokestops to attract specific Pokemon that like rain, such as water, bug and electric-types.

The second part of the event will see the release of Sylveon, the much anticipated Fairy-type Eeveelution. Fairy-types will once again take the spotlight with similar Pokemon to the Luminous Legends X event appearing throughout the game. Providing players complete the Global Challenge, they will also gain access to the rewards at this point. Sam is the Managing Editor at DualShockers.

He's been playing video games for as long as he can remember and you can regularly find him on his Nintendo Switch. Shiny Galarian Zigzagoon will continue to be available after the event.

Galarian Zigzagoon will be appearing in one-star raids for the rest of the event. Event-exclusive AR Mapping tasks will reward Poffins! The Destruction Pokemon will appear in five-star raids, and it will actually be more useful than in Xerneas.

The thing that makes it better suited to competitive play is its bulk, which means it can last longer against heavyweights in Master League compared to the likes of comparable legendaries such as Darkrai. Its bulk means that it can hang in to deal more damage. Suffice to say, this legendary will be worth picking up, and could be even better in the future if Niantic adds its signature move, Oblivion Wing. The variant has a distinct magenta and blue color scheme, and when it evolves into Obstagoon the coloration stands out even more.

But there is a caveat to its release. Players will have to defeat 25 million Team Go Rocket grunts from midnight May 15 to May 23 to unlock the shiny and other bonuses. They include a triple catch-XP bonus and having Galarian Zigzagoon in one-star raids.

If players can finish the task, the perks will start at 10 a. May 25 and run through the rest of the event.
