Today we watched a large solstice themed event in Pokemon went with special attention to shiny Pokemon. There is a new set of exclusive field research assignments for this event, along with various potentially glossy Pokemon such as Snorunt, Yanma, Solrock, and Lunatone!
The Pokemon Go Solstice event began on June 17, 2021. It will run until June 20, 2021, ending specifically at 8pm local time. The event includes a variety of exclusive field research rugs for this event, starting with the arrest of 5 Lunatone, and 5 Solrock.
You will get one silver pinap berry to catch a set of 15 lunatone, and silver pinap berry to catch 15 solrock again. Basically you will want to capture 20 each during this event. You can accumulate your field research, so you will also get a prize to catch 10 Pokemon, give you a meeting with Snorunt or Yanma, both of which can be shiny.
You also want to win an attack in less than 60 seconds if possible – it will give you silver pinap berries. Using 3 Razz Gold Berries to help catch Pokemon will give you a lot of Pokemon candy – the same thing applies to rotating 7 pokestop or fitness centers, and winning the battle of RAID level 3 or higher.
This event has Lunatone and Solrock Spawning throughout the world, both with the potential to shiny! There is also a shiny snorlax out there, and some non-shiny spheas.
Be sure to walk with your friend’s Pokemon during this event because they will give you more gift items and pokeballs than usual. The event on foot to get Heart of Hearts is half of the normal distance needed.
During this event you will want to take some Pokemon snapshots for Pokemon Solstice potential meetings. This is the only time when you will be able to find Lunatone and Solrock anywhere in the world. After the event ends, Lunatone will be in one hemisphere, and Solrock will be in the other – until it’s time to switch again!
