DRATINI AHOY!: Pokemon GO! Water-Pokemon Event

Dratini everywhere!

Greetings trainers,

Just an update letting folks know about Pokemon GO's recent Water-Pokemon event in celebration of the Global Water Festival. It seems like they've coded this event to alter the spawn data, making the majority of spawns equivalent to Water-biome spawns. What this means is that Pokemon that spawn in water biomes are now extremely common for the next week! The event runs from March 22nd to March 29th. Here is a list of water Pokemon trainers will want to get their hands on while the going is good:

Gyarados also got a model update,
not sure how I feel about the
colour scheme...

Strong battlers

• Dratini
• Magikarp
• Lapras
• Slowpoke
• Omanyte
• Totodile
• Shellder? (not actually sure this is water-biome associated, despite being a clam)

That's right! Dratini is Water-biome associated, and given that a friend reported catching 4 Dratini in 10 minutes (and I've already seen two today at work), it seems like this is confirmed. This is the week to stock up on Dratini candies and maybe get yourself a few good Dratini to evolve later! I don't think this will affect Dragonair or Dragonite spawns, as those fall into the "ultra rare" spawn category and aren't strictly biome-associated. The same goes for Vaporeon.

Rare finds (some redundancy)

Oh Blastoise... it's so sad how
bad you are now...

• Squirtle
• Totodile
• Lapras
• Mantine
• Omanyte
• Kabuto

If you still don't have a Mantine, now's your chance to get a great one! Not to mention plenty of Totodile candies. And as a personal recommendation: Kingdra is a really good prestige Pokemon, as it doubly resists fire and gets access to Hydro Pump. So if you want to stock up on Horsea candy, now is a good time.

Cheers,
Let's GO!
