On Saturday, April 16 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time, trainers will be able to obtain Exeggcute more frequently than before by spinning PokeStops for special field research tasks. Completing these tasks will give trainers encounters with Exeggcute.

Not only will trainers have a chance to catch a powerful Exeggcute or its Shiny variant, but they’ll also have a chance to evolve it into Alolan Exeggcutor.

Normally, Exeggcute can only evolve into its usual Kantonian form, but during this special research, day trainers can evolve it into its Alolan form with an event-exclusive move. 

Evolve Exeggcute during the event to have Exeggcutor learn Draco Meteor, a powerful Dragon-type attack that has 150 base power in both PVP and PVE. 

Trainers can also enjoy double the catch experience during the event. 

Spring into Spring In-Game Bonuses 

During the 2022 Spring into Spring event, trainers can earn double the candy for hatching Pokemon, while also enjoying double the time for Lucky Egg duration.

Eggs will hatch within half the distance of its usual distance and Team Go Rocket grunts will have more Shadow Whismur and Shadow Exeggcute in their parties.
