The Seasons Change: Part 2 Event Surprises Pokémon GO Players

Niantic's current Pokémon GO event is filled with surprises. The Seasons Change: Part 2 debuted in-game yesterday, continuing last week's Autumn-themed event with some new features. Here's everything you need to know about this event.

The Seasons Change: Part 2 will run from Monday, October 12th at 1 PM to Monday, October 19th at 10 PM Pacific. There are certain features continuing from the previous event, including Vulpix spawns, Deerling spawns, and 1/4 Egg hatch distance, which many trainers found as a welcome surprise. Here's everything else:

• Strange Eggs: A new 12KM Egg has debuted in Pokémon GO. Stay tuned for our full breakdown of what is inside, but these are collected exclusively from defeating Team GO Rocket Leaders.
• In addition to some of the last event's spawns, Dark-type and Poison-type Pokémon are spawning with a specific focus on Houndour, Purrloin, Poochyena, Spinarak, Skorupi, Stunky, Nuzleaf, Croagunk, Sableye, and Gulpin.
• New Special Research called "An Inter-Egg-Sting Development" which will lead to an encounter with Shadow Mewtwo. The comments said it was fake news, but hey, we told you so. Let's go.
• New Shadow Pokémon from Grunts as well as the Team GO Rocket leaders.
• Rocket balloons every three hours.
• Two photobomb encounters in Pokémon GO Snapshots per day, with spawns such as Oddish, both Nidoran, and Vulpix available.
• No new Shiny release except for the new Shadow Shiny Pokémon: Growlithe, Drowsee, and Omanyte.
• Sandile, Vullaby, and Pawniard are now live in Pokémon GO.

For the new Shadow Pokémon available, take a look at our report before the official announcement. Do we have to say "we told you so" again?
