- Mark your calendars for July 15-20 when this aquatic extravaganza takes place
- Discover Tatsugiri's three unique regional variants during the event
- Enjoy increased appearances of various water-type Pokémon
Pokémon Go's Water Festival offers the perfect summer refreshment from July 15-20, featuring Tatsugiri's much-anticipated debut across three regional forms. European, American, and Asia-Pacific trainers will each encounter a distinct variant of this cunning Pokémon alongside a wave of watery encounters and raid battles.
Tatsugiri's Curly, Droopy, and Stretchy Forms will dominate local raids based on your geographic region. Fashion-forward trainers can also spot Lapras sporting its signature scarf, with rare seasonal backgrounds potentially appearing in snapshots. Keep an eye out for boosted Shiny odds for Staryu and Tirtouga, plus extra Candy rewards for excellent throws.
The festival floods the map with aquatic species like Wimpod, Buizel, and Barboach, while raids showcase water-type powerhouses including Azumarill and Gyarados. The Pokémon Go Web Store's Water Festival Ultra Box provides essential supplies packed with valuable items.
Event-exclusive Field Research offers Mega Energy and encounters, while a $4.99 Timed Research pass unlocks premium rewards like Rainy Lure Modules and exclusive avatar poses. New Tatsugiri-inspired backpacks mirroring each variant have also surfaced in the in-game shop.
