Let's start with the most important thing: This is an April Fool's event, not an April Fool's joke. Pokemon GO is avoiding any April Fool's drama this year by rolling out a fun, light-hearted event that trainers should be able to participate in from the comfort of their homes while practicing good social distancing habits.
Since its first year, Pokemon GO has always delivered some kind of event or limited feature to celebrate April Fool's and this year is no different. The Tricky Pokemon event puts the spotlight on creatures who are known to be tricksters or masters of disguise. They'll be appearing in the wild more frequently for the next few days along with some other exciting features.
Perhaps the most exciting features of the Tricky Pokemon event is going to be the appearance of Stunfisk in the mobile game. This debut offers the chance for a new Pokedex entry, which should be plenty of motivation for players to login and take part in the event.
Date and Time
From Wednesday, April 1, 2020, at 8:00 a.m. to Tuesday, April 7, 2020, at 10:00 p.m. local time
Features
Pokémon known to be pranksters and masters of disguise will also be appearing more often in the wild, such as Gastly, Haunter, Voltorb, Sudowoodo, Aipom, Croagunk, and Foongus. If you’re lucky, you might encounter a Shiny Sudowoodo or a Shiny Croagunk!
Stunfisk, the Trap Pokémon, will make its Pokémon GO debut! For the duration of the event, Stunfisk will be available as Field Research task reward encounters and—if you’re extremely lucky—in the wild.
After the event ends, Stunfisk will no longer hatch from 5 km Eggs. You’ll be able to encounter Stunfisk as Field Research task reward encounters or, if you’re very lucky, in the wild.
The following Pokémon will be hatching more often from 5 km Eggs: Aipom, Wynaut, Bonsly, Croagunk, and Stunfisk.
Event-exclusive Field Research tasks will be available. Depending on the task, you might receive a reward encounter with a Sudowoodo, Croagunk, or Stunfisk!
Take a snapshot and see who appears!
Ditto will be appearing more frequently in the wild during the event, so be sure to catch Pokémon that Ditto are known to transform into! We also have reports of Ditto transforming into more Pokémon species than before, and it seems this phenomenon will persist after the event ends.
For now, players may want to keep hunting down the best Unova Pokemon in the game if improving their Battle Raid rosters is their primary goal. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
Pokemon GO is available now in select regions on Android and iOS devices.
