The Cozy Companions Event is Coming, August 6

New events are always fun... but how often do we have Snom's debut? Just once, and NOW IT'S TIME! That's right, the Pokemon that doesn't need to be a Legend in order to be Legendary is almost here, and so we celebrate its long-awaited coming! ....even if it is basically trash.

Cozy Companions

Frosmoth is going to be a pain to pick up, as it needs buddy hearts and 400 candy and can only be evolved at night, so break out those Pinap Berries and get ready to hunt down Snom during the event.

Tandemaus will be available in its Shiny forme for the first time in Pokemon Go.

Just look at those slightly different-colored pants! This is DEFINITELY a Shiny worth watching for... because you very well might miss it if you're not looking very carefully.

• 2x XP from Egg Hatches
• +1 Special Trade per day
• Increased Tandemaus encounter rate from Party Play
• Friedship levels increase faster from various sources

Special hatches for this event will come from 7km Eggs. After the event, Snom will hatch from 5km eggs.

Players will be able to complete Field Research for encounters with event-themed Pokemon, and Timed Research for encounters with Snom and Tandemaus, a Lucky Egg, and more. There will also be a $1.99 paid Timed Research ticket available that will give other bonuses. The Pokemon Go Web Store will also have a box available with said ticket for the same price, plus five.... ultra balls. They're REALLY being generous with this one!
