Pokémon GO’s Season of Alola’s Spring into Spring event guide

For Trainers living in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s spring! And with Easter around the corner, Niantic is celebrating the season by releasing the next wave of Season of Alola’s Special Research as well as some spring and egg-themed Pokémon. Get ready to enjoy this budding season of new beginnings with the return of Pokémon wearing flower crowns and more. Here’s what you can look forward to with Pokémon GO’s Spring into Spring event for 2022.

Begins: Tuesday, April 12th, 2022 at 10 a.m. your local time.

Ends: Monday, April 18th, 2022 at 8 p.m. your local time.

 

Pokémon Debuts – Flower Crown costumed Pokémon and Tapu Bulu

Flowers perfect for flower crowns are blooming! That means we’ll see the return of the spring season costume Pokémon as well as a few others. Debuting during this event and making their evolution lines complete, from the Costume Dex perspective, are Togetic, Togekiss, and Lopunny wearing flower crowns!

 

 

 

For the Season of Alola part, we’ll see the debut of Tapu Bulu in 5-Star Raids and the next release of the Season of Alola’s Special Research. This third Special Research is focused on Ula’ula Island which is home to Tapu Bulu. If you complete this Special Research by June 1st, 2022 at 9:59 a.m. your local time (along with the other Season of Alola Special Research lines), you’ll unlock a bonus Special Research.

For more info on all Special Research lines distributed during the Season of Alola, please visit our Season of Alola’s Special Research Guide.
