The first major event of Pok\u00e9mon Go\u2019s <\/em>Hidden Gems season is here, giving players access to a number of Water-type and beach-themed Pok\u00e9mon spawns. The Water Festival: Beach Week brings fresh encounters and new research to go along with the festivities.\u00a0<\/p>
Beach Week runs from June 6 to 12 and will be the first time players can catch Sandygast and Palossand in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em>. It will also be the debut of Clauncher and Clawitzer\u2019s Shiny variants.<\/p>
The point of this event is to push players to catch boosted spawns like Mantine, Finneon, Dwebble, Frillish, and Popplio. There are rare Pok\u00e9mon like Hisuian Qwilfish, Feebas, Blastoise, and Lapras with a scarf appearing in raids too. You can get Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie from five-star raids, depending on where you live.<\/p>
One thing players are noting is the Water Festival: Beach Week Timed Research is locked behind a $4.99 event ticket, but is only two pages long. This is a bit disappointing since the rewards are fairly small outside of a new pose\u2014but at least there is a Global Challenge.<\/p>
If you plan to hit the waves this week, with the paid ticket or not, here are all of the research tasks and rewards you will see for Water Festival: Beach Week.<\/p>
