Everything we know about the Psychic Spectacular event in Pokémon Go

Psychic Spectacular is running until 8pm (local time) on Sunday 22nd September and, during this time, you'll be able to enjoy three Pokémon Go bonuses. The first is a double catch Stardust bonus. You will also be able to earn additional candy for catching Pokémon using Nice Throws or better. Players who are Level 31 or higher will also have an increased chance of earning Candy XL from such throws.

The highlight of the Psychic Spectacular, however, is the release of Hatenna in Pokémon Go! This Psychic-type Gen 8 Pokémon can be evolved into Hattreem and Hatterene, so make sure you know how to get and evolve Hatenna in Pokémon Go.

Psychic Spectacular also marks the release of the first three-star Power Spot Boss with the arrival of Beldum in Max Battles. Since this is still quite a new feature make sure you know how Max Battles, Dynamax Pokémon, Max Particles and Power Spots all work. Not only will this help you catch Beldum, but give you an idea of how to use these new Dynamax Pokémon!

The following Pokémon will also be appearing more frequently in the wild during Psychic Spectacular:

• Ralts
• Spoink
• Gothita
• Solosis
• Elgyem
• Spritzee
• Swirlix
• Inkay
• Morelull
• Hatenna

The 7km eggs you collect during Psychic Spectacular will also have a slightly different egg pool, containing:

• Mawile
• Chingling
• Espurr
• Hatenna

PokéStop Showcases will also be running throughout the event.

Finally, there's a pay-to-play timed research quest available for the Psychic Spectacular event in the in-game shop. This quest costs $2 or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency. While this quest can be gifted to players you're Great Friends or higher with, it is nonrefundable and can't be purchased using Poké Coin. If you decide to purchase this quest, make sure you complete it before the event ends to ensure you earn 15,000 XP, an Incubator, a Super Incubator and a Star Piece, along with additional encounters with Hatenna and Morelull.

Hope you enjoy the Psychic Spectacular event in Pokémon Go!
