Pokémon Go Lush Jungle spawns and event bonuses explained

The main draw of the Lush Jungle event in Pokémon Go is the release of three Gen 7 Pokémon – Tapu Lele, Fomantis, and its evolution, Lurantis.

Tapu Lele can be fought in five-star raids, while Fomantis can be caught through a variety of means, including spawning more frequently in the wild during the Lush Jungle event.

The following Pokémon will also appear more frequently in the wild:

• Metapod
• Better
• Run
• Pinser
• hoohoot
• sudowoodo
• Cotonee
• ironed

Shiny Cottonee was also released as part of the Lush Jungle event, so keep an eye out for this shiny new form! This task will be made easier by how Cottonee will appear more frequently in parks between from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (local time) on Saturday March 26 and Sunday March 27.

You’ll also be able to fight Mega Charizard Y in Mega Raids, and Bellsprout, Tangela, Sewaddle, and Cottonee all appear in one-star raids. Butterfree, Vileplume, Parasect, and Exeggutor await you in three-star raids.

Finally, the An Akala Adventure Special Research quest has been released as part of the Lush Jungle event. This is the second Alola region-themed Special Research quest – the first being A Melemele Adventure – to be released during the Alola Season and, by completing all four before the season ends, you will have free access to a special end of season research quest.
