Bruxish, Special Flabebe Join Pokemon Go's Festival of Colors

If you're still buzzing from the excitement of Pokémon Day 2025, Niantic has more in store with the return of the Festival of Colors event in Pokémon Go. Mark your calendars for March 13th to 17th, as this vibrant celebration brings delightful surprises to PokeStops and event bonuses that no Trainer will want to miss.

During this event, your Lure Modules will be supercharged, lasting an impressive three hours. And if you're into encountering more Pokémon, you'll be thrilled to know that Bruxish will appear more frequently when you use Incense. Personally, I find Bruxish a bit on the creepy side, reminiscent of a mix between a piranha and an angler fish, but if you're a fan of these unique fishy creatures, now's the perfect time to catch them.

Keep an eye out for regional surprises as well. Depending on where you're located, you might encounter Flabébé in a variety of colors in the wild. If luck is on your side, you could even spot the rare White Flower Flabébé and Orange Flower Flabébé.

Don't forget to complete Field Research tasks to amass Stardust, and dive into the Timed Research for rewards like Incense, Four Rare Candies, and encounters with event-themed Pokémon, among other goodies. Trainers in India have the added benefit of regional bonuses to look forward to!
