Pokemon GO's Unova Week event will be running from August 14, 2020 to August 21, 2020 at 1:00 pm in players' local times. This means that players don't have much time until the event is over. This also means players should take full advantage of the event before its end.
Unova Week has introduced more Pokemon from the Unova region to Pokemon GO as well as increased the spawn rates of certain Unova Pokemon. With certain Pokemon from the Unova region being normally pretty rare in Pokemon GO, this is the perfect time to hunt for them.
Among the spawn rate changes, there are additionally plenty of special raids starring many different Unova Pokemon as the raid bosses. These raids will allow players to catch Pokemon such as Petilil and Cottonee for their teams.
One Pokemon that players need to keep an eye out for during Unova Week is Emolga. This dual electric and flying-type Pokemon is based on a flying squirrel and is also one of the rarest Pokemon that trainers can find in Pokemon GO.
Players that want this rare Pokemon will be more likely to find Emolga during Unova Week. During this event, Emolga's spawn rates are increased. However, it still remains a rare Pokemon, so players will have to search hard for it. However, Emolga can be also hatched from 7 km eggs received during Unova Week. These eggs can be gotten from gifts sent by friends, so players should check their friend list often for gifts.
Another Pokemon that players need to catch during Unova Week is Genesect. This legendary bug and steel-type Pokemon appears as the raid boss for Unova Week's Tier 5 raids. It additionally gained the chance to be shiny for Unova Week.
Genesect is a powerful raid boss that will require powerful Pokemon and multiple trainers to defeat. However, Genesect is very useful in both PVP battles and battles against other raid bosses, making it quite the catch. After Unova Week it is unknown when Genesect will return as a raid boss, so now is the best time to try and catch one.
Other raid Pokemon to take advantage of and challenge before Unova Week ends include:
- Timburr
- Cottonee
- Petilil
- Dwebble
- Klink
- Roggenrola
- Whirlipede
- Darumaka
- Ferroseed
- Stunfisk
- Liepard
- Palpitoad
- Amoonguss
- Stoutland
- Garbodor
With the end of the event approaching soon, players should do what they can before the next event begins. There's a lot to do, so players should get to it.
