Pokemon Go Lustrous Odyssey debut & wild encounters

Dusk Form Lycanroc will finally get its Pokemon Go debut during the Lustrous Odyssey event alongside its shiny version. This means that starting with this event, “some Rockruff that trainers hatch or encounter will be able to evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc instead of Midday Form or Midnight Form Lycanroc,” according to the official announcement.

Additionally, the following Pokemon will appear more frequently in the wild:

  • Gastly
  • Eevee
  • Spinarak
  • Sunkern
  • Teddiursa
  • Lunatone
  • Solrock
  • Yungoos
  • Fomantis
  • Morelull
  • Espeon

Pokemon Go Lustrous Odyssey event Raids

The following Pokemon will headline Pokemon Go Raids during the Lustrous Odyssey event:

1-Star Raids

  • Hisuian Sneasel
  • Rockruff

3-Star Raids

  • Lapras

Pokemon Go players who spin PokeStops during the Lustrous Odyssey event will get themed Field Research tasks. Completing them will reward players with encounters with Hisuian Growlithe, Hisuian Sneasel, and Rockruff.

Additionally, part two of the Timeless Travels Special Research will launch at the start of this event. Trainers will be able to complete the new tasks to earn items, XP, Stardust, and an encounter with Rockruff.
