Pokémon GO Announces Spring Into Spring Event With New Costumes

The Spring into Spring event is coming to Pokémon GO, bringing new Flower Crown Pokémon and egg-themed content just in time for Easter. Let's get into the details.

Pokémon GO announced the following details of this event, which they claim to be quite "egg-citing" today. Let's break it down into digestible bullets:

• Date and time: Tuesday, April 12th, 2022, from 10:00 a.m. to Monday, April 18th, 2022, at 8:00 p.m. local time. Yet another short event!
• New Costumed Pokémon:
  • Togetic wearing a flower crown
  • Togekiss wearing a flower crown (Obtained through evolution)
  • Lopunny wearing a flower crown (Obtained through evolution)
• New Legendary in Tier Five Raids: The Alolan Legendary Tapu Bulu will arrive in Tier Five Eggs.
• Team Rocket Content: Increase chance of Shadow Exeggcute and Shadow Whismur from Grunts. I wonder if Shadow Exeggcute will only be Shiny when encountered through Cliff, because it would be very unusual for Pokémon GO to limit a Shiny's chances by encounter rather than species/type.
• Wild Spawns: Flower Crown Pikachu, Flower Crown Eevee, Flower Crown Buneary, Nidoran (Male & Female), Jigglypuff, Whismur, Bunnelby, Flower Crown Chansey as a rare spawn, Flower Crown Togetic as a rare spawn.
• 2KM Eggs: Exeggcute, Kangaskhan, Flower Crown Pichu, Igglybuff, Flower Crown Togepi, Azurill, Happiny, Zhingling, Munchlax, Riolu. All I have to say is… what did Bonsly do to deserve this disrespect?
• Event Bonuses:
  • Double Hatch Candy
  • Half Hatch distance
  • Double Lucky Egg duration, a nice XP bonys

There will also be the Limited Research Day: An Egg-citing Spring Surprise happening during the event. Here's what Pokémon GO trainers can expect:

• Date and time: Saturday, April 16th, 2022, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. local time.
• Details: Trainers who spin PokéStops and complete the Limited Research tasks will encounter Exeggcute. Historically, Limited Research Days have seen dramatically boosted Shiny rates.
• Alolan Evoluton!?: Niantic notes that players will be able to evolve Exeggcute during the event to get an Alolan Exeggcutor, a feature not normally active in the game.
• Exclusive Attack: Alolan Exeggutors obtained via evolution during the event will know the Dragon-type Charged Attack Draco Meteor.
• Event Bonus: Double Catch XP.
• Wild Spawns: Bulbasaur, Oddish, Paras, Bellsprout, Tangela, Chikorita, Sunkern, Treecko, Seedot. This is a new feature, as Limited Research Days have historically not included wild spawns.
