Trainers in Mexico (and ones passing through) can find Hawlucha a bit easier thanks to an exclusive event. Field Research featuring Hawlucha, a Timed Research quest all about Fighting-type Pokémon, and exclusive event bundles will be available throughout September.
Now, check out what’s happening during the Celebrating with Hawlucha event with our guide below:

Begins: Sunday, September 1st, 2024 at 10 a.m. your local time.

Pokémon featured – Hawlucha
