Many iconic Hoenn Pokemon will appear more often during the event, including these:

Treecko Torchic Mudkip Taillow Loudred Nosepass Aron Meditite Roselia Carvanha Numel Baltoy

Raids get a Hoenn makeover for the event. One star raids include:

Treecko Torchic Mudkip Ralts Aron Bagon

Three star raids feature:

Grumpig Breloom Mawile Spinda Absol

And five star raids are where players can catch Hoenn’s two flagship legendary Pokemon, Kyogre and Groudon.

The starters, Plusle, Minun, Wailmer, and Aron are the focus of special Field Research tasks, and the event also includes some Timed Research tasks revolving around Kyogre and Groudon. Completing the Timed Research tasks unlocks an encounter with a Rayquaza that knows Hurricane and may be Shiny Rayquaza.

Finally, any Metang that evolve (into Metagross) during the event will learn Meteor Mash, a move that was once a Community Day exclusive.

Johto takes the spotlight after Hoenn leaves, so stay tuned for more Pokemon GO news.
