This event is all about deepening the bond you share with your Pokémon, and it marks the debut of a very special Pokémon.

When Is the Beloved Buddies Event Kicking Off in Pokémon GO?

The Beloved Buddies event will run from February 11th to February 15th. This event focuses on strengthening your connections with your Pokémon companions. One of the highlights is the debut of Dhelmise, the Sea Creeper Pokémon, which you'll have the chance to add to your collection and challenge in raids.

During the event, you'll enjoy double XP for every Pokémon you catch, and Lure Modules will last an impressive full hour. These Lures will attract a diverse mix of Pokémon, including Diglett, Slowpoke, Shellder, Dunsparce, Cutiefly, and Fomantis. Catching any of these will reward you with an additional 500 Stardust per catch.

The event will also feature a robust lineup of wild Pokémon appearing more frequently. Keep an eye out for Shiny Diglett and Shiny Dunsparce, which will be more common during this period.

Raids during the Beloved Buddies event will offer a variety of challenges, ranging from one-star to mega battles. In one-star raids, you'll encounter Shellder, Dwebble, and Skrelp, with Skrelp having an increased shiny rate. Three-star raids will feature Slowbro, Hippowdon, and the debuting Dhelmise.

For those looking for a bigger challenge, five-star raids will feature Enamorus in its Incarnate Forme. Meanwhile, Mega Raids will bring in the formidable Mega Tyranitar. So, make sure to check out Pokémon GO on the Google Play Store and dive into the Beloved Buddies event once it starts.
