Ahoy! The Power Plant event in Pokémon GO ended on the 1st and the Lunar New Year event started immediately after it ended. Since I made a post about that event first, this recap from the Power Plant is a bit later 😅
In my blog post about the Power Plant event I mentioned the Event Field Research tasks, two of them were for Mega Energy. Those were for Ampharos and Manectric. I already Mega Evolved Manectric sometime, but only had like 55 Ampharos Mega Energy. Once I did a bunch of the quests for both, I collected enough for my first Ampharos Mega Evolve. I had this 100% IV Ampharos that I caught as a Mareep back in 2020. It's kinda hard to see on the yellow stamp, but it reads "2020/11/04".
Here are photos of this Ampharos, the Light Pokémon, and the Mega Ampharos Pokédex registry.
Throughout the event I mostly Mega Evolved my Gyarados though that I currently have as my Buddy Pokémon. As I didn't necessarily needed that boost to Candy for Electric-type Pokémon. The only one it could've maybe been useful for was Helioptile.
During the event I encountered 2 Shinies, only one of them was from the event spawns though. I got this Shiny Trubbish and a Shiny Volbeat. The Trubbish is a new Shiny for me! Here are encounter photos and their stats.
I already had Shiny Volbeat, funny enough the one I already had has quite similar stats, I believe all of them are about 2 off from this one. If one of my friends want this Volbeat I could trade it to them, otherwise I might just transfer it as I already had one.
During the event I got a Lucky Kyurem from one of the trades I've done. A quite good one actually, 96% IV with 15 Attack. You can see it here.
Kyurem is one of the few-ish Legendaries that I have a 100% IV from, but I was happy to get this 96% IV from a random trade to get our special trade done. Now I'm also certain I have it Lucky in my Pokédex. I'll probably keep this one. Then I could have one as an Ice-type attacker and the other as a Dragon-type attacker. Although it doesn't have an Ice-type Fast Attack, so I'll have to figure that out.
Not really a lot of Shinies during the event, but I was glad to be catching Jolteon regularly 😄
How did the event go for you?
