* While most bonuses are only active during the three hours of the event (2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time), these bonuses will be active from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. local time.

The three-hour Incense bonus excludes Daily Adventure Incense and the one-hour Lure bonus excludes Golden Lure Modules.

Features

Evolve Lechonk during the event or up to four hours afterwards to get an Oinkologne that knows the Fast Attack Mud Slap.

Mud Slap (Ground-type)

Lure Module Bonus

From 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. local time, Lechonk will have a very high chance of appearing at PokéStops with active regular Lure Modules.

Lechonk attracted to regular Lure Modules will still have an increased chance to be Shiny and may have a Special Background. That’s more chances to encounter the featured Pokémon even after the event hours!

Spawns

Lechonk will appear more frequently in the wild.
