Pokemon GO is constantly bringing new limited-time events, celebrations, and opportunities for players top participate in as part of the live-service format the game tends to follow. These events often follow various ideas, specific monster Types, or other themes, and will include a series of wild spawns, Raid Bosses, Research Tasks, and Collection Challenges. Players can get involved in these mechanics to earn beneficial rewards such as XP, items, and special encounters.

One of the many different events that is featured throughout the ongoing Dual Destiny Season in Pokemon GO is the Small Yet Mighty event. This event marks the debut of shiny Nymble and therefore largely incorporates other Bug Type specimens, as well as some significant Raid opportunities for players to make the most of. As this event features a unique batch of encounters and event bonuses, a complete breakdown of this information has been included in the guide below to help players make the most of the event.
