As players near the end of the Johto Throwback Challenge tasks in Pokemon GO, they will be asked to catch an Ice-type Pokemon. For some fans, this may seem like a tall order indeed, as snowy weather is certainly not in the forecast for many areas worldwide. That said, it is definitely still possible to catch Ice-type Pokemon in Pokemon GO, and this brief guide will help players locate one of these frigid pocket monsters.
To find one of Pokemon GO's Ice-type Pokemon naturally, players are advised to search in grassy areas or near bodies of water. Indeed, Ice-type Pokemon in PoGO can spawn in these locations regardless of the weather, and players that put enough time into it should be able to find one and complete the Johto Throwback research. That said, there is an alternative method for catching an Ice-type Pokemon that some fans may prefer to use.
Specifically, players hunting for an Ice Pokemon in Pokemon GO may want to purchase a Glacial Lure Module from the in-game store for 200 PokeCoins. These Glacial Lures can be attached to a PokeStop by tapping on the icon directly above its picture disc, and it will attract both Water and Ice-type Pokemon for 30 minutes. While some players may prefer to avoid spending PokeCoins on completing this Johto Throwback task, it is an option that fans should keep in mind.
To note, the next step of the Johto Throwback Challenge research will ask players to take a snapshot of an Ice-type Pokemon, and that will be easy enough to do with the previously provided instructions on how to find one. Then there are just a couple of more quick tasks to complete before a player has fully finished the Johto Throwback event and earned their Ho-Oh with Earthquake in PoGO.
From there, fans can begin preparing for next week's Pokemon GO Throwback event, which will focus on the Hoenn region. The week after that players will be transported to the Sinnoh region, and then this multi-part event will culminate with fans that have completed every task unlocking a Special Research. Without a doubt, this is something that many players will want to do, and catching an Ice-type Pokemon in PoGO will put them one step closer.
Pokemon GO is available now in select regions on Android and iOS devices.
