Bruxish, Flabébé Debut in Pokémon GO Color Fest

Pokémon GO Festival of Colors makes a dazzling comeback in 2025. From March 13th to 17th, global trainers will experience vivid Pokémon encounters and exclusive bonuses. Read on for complete event details.

Celebrate the Festival of Colors with Pokémon GO

First, watch for festive PokéStops during your walks - they'll feature special decorations to match the occasion. Extended three-hour Lure Modules will create longer-lasting Pokémon hotspots throughout the event.

Hunters seeking Bruxish should activate Incense, as this colorful fish appears more frequently. While standard Incense lasts two hours, Daily Adventure Incense operates normally. Daily snapshots may reveal a surprise appearance from photobombing Shiny Smeargle.

Floral Flabébé debuts across regions in varied hues: Europe, Middle East and Africa host the red variant, Asia-Pacific shelters the blue flower form, while the Americas feature yellow blossoms. White and orange Flabébé may appear anywhere globally.

Various color-themed Pokémon including Drowzee, Magikarp, Natu, Aipom, Meditite, and Dwebble will spawn during celebrations. Mega Swampert dominates Mega Raids, while Field Research tasks offer Stardust and encounters with event Pokémon.

Special Bonuses for Holi Players

Honoring India's Holi festival, Pokémon GO offers exclusive regional perks. Indian trainers can access special Timed Research, encounter Pikachu in kurta-themed one-star raids, and earn bonus raid catch Candy.
