Embarking on a Luminous Journey
Pokémon Go sets the stage with a grand celebration to kick off the year in its latest spectacle, the “Lustrous Odyssey” event. Running from January 6th to 10th, this extravaganza brings a focused spotlight on the beloved Rockruff and introduces the Dusk Form Lycanroc for the first time in the Pokémon Go universe. The event promises an enriching experience for trainers worldwide, packed with activities, bonuses, and the much-awaited debut of Dusk Form Lycanroc.
A Trail of Bonuses and Buddies
In the vibrant world of Pokémon Go, companionship is always celebrated. The “Lustrous Odyssey” event enhances this bond with several bonuses centered around buddy Pokémon. Trainers will find their Pokémon pals delivering gifts and souvenirs with increased frequency, and after a hearty meal, these buddies will stay on the map longer, accompanying trainers on their adventures. Furthermore, the “Timeless Travels” Special Research sees a new chapter unfold with this event, adding layers of excitement and discovery.
Mysteries of Evolving Rockruff
The evolution of Rockruff into the enigmatic Dusk Form Lycanroc is a highlight of the event. Aspiring trainers should focus on collecting as many 2 and 7 km eggs as possible during the “Lustrous Odyssey” period. These eggs harbor the potential to hatch Rockruff, which, under the right conditions, can evolve into the majestic Dusk Form Lycanroc. The thrill of evolution and the chase for this rare form adds a competitive edge to the event, engaging trainers in a race against time and chance.
