The time between Mystery Box activations is going to be reduced during the event, and if you haven\u2019t already obtained it, you can do so by transferring Pok\u00e9mon Go to Pok\u00e9mon HOME or a copy of Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu! or Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Eevee! Players are also getting a special treat, as Solrock and Lunatone will be appearing in the wild around the world and not just in their normal Hemisphere-limited regions. This will last for the duration of the event before things return to normal, with Solrock only spawning in the Eastern Hemisphere and Lunatone appearing in the Western Hemisphere respectively.\u00a0 Along with some new research tasks, a somewhat unique set of six Collection Challenges will run during the Pok\u00e9mon TCG Crossover\u2014featuring several different difficulty levels that aim to replicate the experience of trying to collect rare Pok\u00e9mon cards. And, if you finish those six, an additional three Collection Challenges will go live on June 23, giving players access to even more rewards.\u00a0 Wimpod will be appearing in the wild and one-star raids, with players needing 400 Wimpod Candy to evolve one into Golisopod. Mega Venusaur, Mega Charizard, and Mega Blastoise will all be filling the Mega Raid rotation during the event too.\u00a0 Additionally, Mewtwo will be appearing in five-star raids throughout the event, with two different Charged Attacks available depending on when you try to catch it. From June 16 to 23, Mewtwo in raids will know Shadow Ball, while from June 23 to July 1 it will know Psystrike.\u00a0 The actual Pok\u00e9mon Go x Pok\u00e9mon TCG special set will launch in waves starting on July 1.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/03030436\/pokemon-go-adventure-week.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608634"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=608634"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608634\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":608721,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608634\/revisions\/608721"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/606951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=608634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=608634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=608634"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=608634"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=608634"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=608634"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=608634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
