Unleash the Power of Hisuian Typhlosion in Pokemon GO Raid Day Event

Introducing Hisuian Typhlosion

An upcoming Pokemon GO Raid Day event will introduce a powerful Pokemon from Pokemon Legends: Arceus for a limited time. Hisuian Typhlosion from Pokemon Legends: Arceus will make its debut in Pokemon GO in an upcoming Raid Day event on January 14. During the event, Hisuian Typhlosion will appear in three-star raids, and Pokemon GO players may earn additional rewards alongside the successful capture of the Ghost Flame Pokemon.

Pokemon GO Hisuian Typhlosion

Typhlosion made its Pokemon GO debut in 2017, and fans eagerly awaited its Hisuian counterpart after the launch of Pokemon Legends: Arceus for Nintendo Switch in 2022. Unlike the original Fire-type Typhlosion from the Johto region, the Hisuian Typhlosion is a Fire and Ghost-type Pokemon believed to eat and purify lost spirits. As a result, it's often referred to as a Ghost Flame Pokemon in lore from the ancient Hisui region. Nearly two years after the release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Pokemon GO players will finally be able to add the Hisuian Typhlosion to their collection.

Niantic's latest blog post for Pokemon GO confirms that the Hisuian Typhlosion Raid Day event will be held on January 14 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time. Similarly to Pokemon GO Community Day events, Hisuian Typhlosion will only be available for a short duration. Players must work together and defeat Hisuian Typhlosion in three-star raids in order to capture the Pokemon. A number of event bonuses will be active, including up to five additional free Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Discs and an increased chance to encounter a shiny Hisuian Typhlosion.

Event Details and Bonuses

Pokemon GO players can mark their calendars for the Hisuian Typhlosion Raid Day event on Sunday, January 14, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time. During this limited-time event, Hisuian Typhlosion will be available in three-star raids, providing a thrilling challenge for trainers. Additionally, players will have the opportunity to earn extra rewards upon successfully capturing Hisuian Typhlosion.

In preparation for the event, Niantic will temporarily increase the Remote Raid limit to 20 from Saturday, January 13, 2024, at 4:00 PM PST to Sunday, January 14, 2024, at 7:00 PM PST. Raid Day event tickets will be available for $5.00 in the in-game shop, granting Pokemon GO players additional bonuses on January 14 from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM local time. These limited-time bonuses include an increased drop rate for Rare Candy XL, 50% more XP, and double Stardust drops from Hisuian Typhlosion raid battles.

It's worth noting that the event ticket will only be available during the Raid Day event from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, despite the bonuses being active until 10:00 PM. This offers players an incentive to participate in the event and take advantage of the exclusive bonuses. With a promising lineup of rewards and bonuses, the Hisuian Typhlosion Raid Day event is set to be an unforgettable experience for Pokemon GO players.

Looking Ahead

January 2024 is shaping up to be an exciting month for Pokemon GO, with various Raid events on the horizon. Niantic's latest announcements suggest that the game will be buzzing with activity as trainers gear up for new challenges and encounters. However, Niantic teases that 'only time will tell' when Hisuian Typhlosion will return in Pokemon GO, so players may want to prepare for the event and ensure they're ready to defeat and catch the Pokemon.

As the anticipation builds and trainers await the arrival of Hisuian Typhlosion, the Pokemon GO community is abuzz with excitement. The prospect of encountering and capturing the powerful Ghost Flame Pokemon has ignited a sense of adventure and camaraderie among players.
