Alolan Marowak & More Unlocked For Pokémon GO Fest 2020
Niantic has announced that Pokémon GO players have successfully unlocked six special spawns for next week's Pokémon GO Fest 2020. This is the first time that the event will be held remotely, and as the date draws nearer, speculation as to what will be featured during the two-day event builds. Notably, Niantic is leaving the fate of nine possible Pokémon in the hands of players of the mobile app. The three weeks leading up to GO Fest have been marked by three events and three Special Limited Research Challenges. Each week, one of the teams was assigned a Pokémon, and challenged to complete the research. If one million or more trainers from each time successfully finish all of the tasks in quest line, that team's Pokémon would become a featured GO Fest 2020 spawn. In a major update, Niantic confirmed the inclusion of Alolan Marowak for the first time in the wild in the game's history, and more.
Niantic took to Twitter to announce that the first week of spawns have thus far been unlocked after trainers successfully completed the GO Fest Skill Challenge:
Whoa! Thanks to each team's amazing performance during the first #PokemonGOFest2020 weekly challenge, the following Pokémon will be appearing during Pokémon GO Fest 2020!
(Instinct) Chimecho
(Mystic) Alomomola
(Valor) Chansey
Then, at the conclusion of the Team GO Rocket event, Niantic updated trainers with news on three more GO Fest additions, including the most coveted spawn of the nine: Alolan Marowak, unlocked by Team Valor. In addition to Marowak, who is only available in its Alolan form as a tier-four raid boss that cannot be completed by solo players, Team Mystic unlocked Alolan Grimer and Team Instinct unlocked Ferroseed.
Shiny-capable Pokémon at GO Fest and Safari Zones are featured with a drastically increased shiny rate. Of the new announced six GO Fest spawns, this includes Alolan Marowak, Alolan Grimer which is normally a hatch-exclusive Pokémon, and Chansey, which is a rare spawn even when featured in events.
Currently, Pokémon GO players are working to complete the GO Fest Challenge: Friendship to unlock more Pokémon. Niantic tasked each team with the following challenge:
One million Team Instinct Trainers: Togetic
One million Team Mystic Trainers: Dratini
One million Team Valor Trainers: Litwick
Compared to the previous challenges, the Friendship quest line is far less intensive, which essentially guarantees that trainers will see Litwick, Dratini, and Togetic spawns come to GO Fest 2020.
