Pokemon Go's An Instinctive Hero event sees trainers help out Spark and his trusty Elekid

A couple of weeks ago, Niantic hosted the A Mystic Hero event on Pokémon Go, which saw trainers help Blanche and her trusty Lapras out in exchange for some sweet rewards. This time, it’s another leader, Spark from Team Instinct, whose looking for some support. Naturally, the event has been titled An Instinctive Hero, which will be based around hatching Pokémon.

The An Instinctive Hero event takes place between May 2nd and 8th on Pokémon Go, until 8:00 pm local time. In the previous event, players were trying to figure out the mystery behind evolution. The new one, on the other hand, is aiming to uncover the process of Pokémon hatching out of eggs.

During the event, trainers will see Larvesta, the Torch Pokémon and Volcarona, the Sun Pokémon for the first time in the AR game. The former will hatch from 2km, 5km as well as 10km Eggs. And gathering 400 Larvesta Candy will evolve it into Volcarona.

That’s not the only Pokémon that will be available in the event. Others include Mime Jr, Happiny, Axew, Goomy, and Shelmet. Hatching eggs isn’t as easy as just throwing a Poké Ball because it takes more effort. So, to help with this whole ordeal, players will receive 2x XP and Stardust for hatching Pokémon, plus there are increased chances of finding Shiny ones from there.

Furthermore, players can take part in the event-exclusive Special Research Story which rewards everyone with an encounter with Elekid on completion. It won’t just be any Elekid, but one with a Spark-themed accessory, and for all the completionists out there, this is the only way to get this Pokémon in the current season.

Don’t forget to check out the Field Research tasks either, which grant encounters with Magneton, Chansey, Magmar, Snorlax, and a bunch of other Pokémon.
