Pokémon Go’s Small Yet Strong event brings your favourite tiny Pokémon to the forefront

Get ready to snag some of the tiniest yet most thrilling Pokémon during the Small Yet Strong event in Pokémon Go. Scheduled from February 5th to 8th, this event is packed with bonuses, wild encounters, and fresh opportunities to enrich your collection. It’s also the perfect chance to build your squad for the upcoming Pokémon Go Tour – Unova.

During the Small Yet Strong event, you'll earn double XP for catching Pokémon and enjoy a higher chance of encountering XXS and XXL Pokémon in the wild. A highlight of the event is the debut of Shiny Nymble, adding a new shiny variant to your Pokédex.

Keep an eye out for regional Flabébé variations: Red Flower in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Blue Flower in the Asia-Pacific region, and Yellow Flower in the Americas. You might even encounter the White or Orange Flower Flabébé, no matter where you are.

Other Pokémon that will appear more frequently in the wild include Paras, Natu, Joltik, and various Burmy forms. For those seeking a challenge, Dialga and Enamorus (Incarnate Forme) will be available in Five-Star Raids, while Mega Medicham and Mega Tyranitar will headline Mega Raids. Both raid and wild encounters provide opportunities to catch rare Shiny Pokémon.

For collectors, two km Eggs hatched during the event can yield Pokémon like Togepi, Azurill, Budew, and Dedenne. Completing Field Research tasks will reward you with encounters with Burmy and Nymble. Don't miss out on the event-themed Timed Research and Collection Challenge, which offer rewards such as Stardust, Poké Balls, and additional encounters with event-themed Pokémon.

To round off the event, PokéStop Showcases will feature event-themed Pokémon, so keep an eye out. And don't forget to visit the Pokémon Go Web Store, where you can stock up on all the resources you need to kickstart your journey.
