Pokémon Go’s Small Yet Strong event brings your favourite tiny Pokémon to the forefront

The Pokémon Go "Small Yet Strong" event is almost here! From February 5th to 8th, trainers will have increased odds of encountering extra-small (XXS) and extra-large (XXL) Pokémon. This event also marks the debut of Shiny Nymble.

Prepare for boosted XP – catch Pokémon to earn double the experience! Wild encounters will feature a higher-than-usual appearance rate of XXS and XXL Pokémon. Keep an eye out for Shiny Nymble, making its first appearance in Pokémon Go.

This event is a great opportunity to bolster your team before the upcoming Pokémon Go Tour: Unova. Expect increased wild spawns of Paras, Natu, Joltik, and various Burmy forms. Raid battles will feature Dialga and Enamorus (Incarnate Forme) in Five-Star Raids, and Mega Medicham and Mega Tyranitar in Mega Raids. Both raid and wild encounters offer Shiny Pokémon possibilities.

Collectors will appreciate the 2km Eggs, hatching Togepi, Azurill, Budew, and Dedenne. Field Research tasks reward encounters with Burmy and Nymble. Don't miss the Timed Research and Collection Challenge for Stardust, Poké Balls, and more event Pokémon encounters. Regional Flabébé variations (Red, Blue, Yellow, White, and Orange Flower) will also appear.

Event-themed Pokémon will also be featured in PokéStop Showcases. Finally, be sure to check the Pokémon Go Web Store for supplies. Get ready for some small but mighty Pokémon hunting!
