There's a new event in Pokemon GO that gives trainers a chance to score a special Lapras with a Blanche-themed accessory. For those unaware, there are three teams in Pokemon GO, and Blanche is the leader of Team Mystic, which this event revolves around.
This guide will cover the Mystic Hero event, showing readers the Timed, Field, and Special research tasks, their rewards, as well as the event bonuses.
How Long is the Mystic Hero Event?
Pokemon GO's Mystic Hero event starts on April 13 at 10 AM local time and will end on April 17 at 8 PM. This gives trainers almost five days to complete research and take advantage of the event bonus effects.
What are the Event Bonuses?
During the Mystic Hero event, trainers can look forward to three different bonuses:
- Double Evolution Experience
- Two Candy XL for every evolved Pokemon
- Lure Modules last for three hours
For the duration of the Mystic Hero, players should really make sure to evolve as many Pokemon as they possibly can. The double XP effect alone is worth it to check out the storage and literally evolve any Pokemon; look for the basic ones first, like Pidgey, Rattata, Caterpie, etc. Players should have a bunch of Pidgey after the April Fools' Pidgey Pandemonium event earlier this month.
Mystic Hero Field Research Tasks
There are three Field Research Tasks available for the Mystic Hero event, and they are as follows. The tasks are pretty simple, and players will be able to snag a Metal Coat or Dragon Scale item, which the former can be used to evolve Pokemon like Onix and Scyther, while the latter is used for Seadra.
- Catch 3 Pokemon (1 Metal Coat/1 Dragon Scale)
