The following Pokémon debut for the first time in Pokémon GO thanks to this event:

• Mega Gardevoir: Be available in Mega Raids. We can evolve Kirlia during the event to get a Gallade or a Gardevoir that knows the charged attack Sync Noise. Gallades and Gardevoirs caught after raids will also experience Sync Noise.
• New form change for Furfrou: During the event you can change your Wild Form Furfrou to Heart Cut Furfrou. Select Furfrou in Pokémon storage, then tap the “Change Shape” button to bring up a menu with all available cuts. Changing Furfrou’s cut to Heart Cut will cost you 25 Furfrou Candies and 10,000 Stardust.

During this event we will be able to enjoy the following bonuses and features specials:

• Double Stardust: when opening gifts.

• New Temporary Research – Love Wishes: We can access different paths of temporary research and in them your wishes will be fulfilled with bonuses that have to do with more PX or more Candies when catching Pokémon or more duration of the daily adventure Incense. Each track you choose will determine which bonuses and tasks you must complete in the event. Trainers who complete the investigation will receive items and have a chance to meet Frillish.
