Trainers! The Season of Mythical Wishes in Pokémon GO is bringing the Mythic Blade event and Ordinary Form Keldeo to the game via a ticketed Special Research story.
Alongside the introduction of Keldeo, Pokémon GO is also introducing Crabrawler, alongside a few additional surprises.
Keldeo Arrives to Pokémon GO During Mythic Blade Event
Known as the Mythic Blade event, it starts Tuesday, Dec. 6 at 10 a.m. and lasts from Sunday, Dec. 11 at 8:00 p.m. local time. During this time, Trainers can purchase a $7.99 ticket that includes the Special Research story “Something Extraordinary”. Trainers must purchase a ticket to the Special Research during the event. Trainers will then be able to complete it at any time.
Along with a chance to encounter Keldeo during the Special Research, Trainers will also receive:
- Keldeo T-Shirt avatar item
- 14 Rare Candies
- 12 Siler Pinap Berries
- 2 Incubators
- 2 Super Incubators
- 2 Incense
- Various Fighting-type and Water-type Pokémon encounters
Incense Encounters and Regular Encounters
Ticket holders will see the following Pokémon appear more frequently from incense: Machop*, Hitmonlee*, Hitmonchan*, Hitmontop*, Beldum*, Tympole* and Ferroseed. All Pokémon listed have a chance of being shiny.
During the event, the following Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild for ticket and non-ticket holders (* denotes shiny chance); Mankey*, Machop*, Hitmonlee*, Hitmonchan*, Hitmontop*, Combusken*, Makuhita*, Meditite*, Menferno. Lucky trainers may encounter a Poliwrath or Crabrawler.
Raids, Mega Raids and Collection Challenges
Additionally, the following Pokémon will appear in raids:
- One-Star: Meditite*, Buizel*, Timburr* and Tympole*
- Three-Star: Poliwrath, Aerodactyl*, Skarmory* and Breloom
- Five-Star: Terrakion* and Virizion*
Virizion will appear in Raids until Dec. 8, at which time Terrakion will switch over to Raids until Dec. 15 at 10:00 a.m. local time.
Mega Aggron will be appearing in Mega Raids.
Field Research tasks encounters include Galarian Farfetch’d*, Hitmonlee*, Hitmonchan* and Hitmontop*
There will also be a special Collection Challenge arriving.
While this event is extremely similar to the Galarian Mr. Mime event that was held a ways back, it’s a great way for Trainers to get early-access to Keldeo. While this isn’t necessarily a must-play event, the chance to get Keldeo before anyone else may be alluring to some Trainers.
