Lapras Gets A New Costume This Week In Pokémon GO

Lapras will don a Blanche-themed costume this week in Pokémon GO. This will be part of the upcoming research-themed Mystic Hero event.

This week, Lapras will get a new costume in Pokémon GO inspired by Blanche as part of the Mystic Hero event. This event will also feature an incredible Candy XL bonus.

Here's what's happening in the new Mystic Hero event in Pokémon GO:

• Date and time: Thursday, April 13, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. to Monday, April 17, 2023, at 8:00 p.m. local time.
• New release: Lapras wearing a Blanche-themed accessory will be available through a Special Research questline called A Mystic Hero. This is the only way to encounter Lapras, and it will be Shiny-capable. It does say "an encounter" implying we will only get one of these Lapras, meaning that those who get the Shiny will not get the standard.
• Field Research: Tasks that focus on evolving Pokémon and catching Pokémon will unlock Stardust and Evolution items, giving us more fodder to delete from our Item Bags when they fill up.
• Event bonus: 
  • Double XP for evolving Pokémon
  • Lure Modules activated during the event will last for three hours
  • Two guaranteed Candy XL for evolving Pokémon: This is big! Key into this one!
