Beat the summer heat with Pokémon Go's refreshing Water Festival, running from July 15th to 20th. Dive into a wave of aquatic encounters, exciting raid battles, and the first appearance of Tatsugiri in three distinct regional forms. Whether you're in Europe, the Americas, or the Asia-Pacific region, a unique form of this mimicry Pokémon will be available in your area.

Depending on your location, the Curly, Droopy, or Stretchy Form of Tatsugiri will appear in local raids. This event also marks the stylish return of Lapras wearing a scarf, offering a chance to capture it with a special seasonal background. Look forward to increased Shiny odds for Staryu and Tirtouga, plus extra Candy rewards for making excellent throws.

A diverse range of Water-type Pokémon, including Wimpod, Buizel, and Barboach, will be appearing in the wild. Raids will feature powerful contenders like Azumarill in one-star battles and Gyarados in three-star battles. To prepare for the festivities, visit the Pokémon Go Web Store for the Water Festival Ultra Box, packed with valuable items.

Themed Field Research tasks will reward you with Mega Energy and Pokémon encounters. A special Timed Research ticket, available for $4.99, provides additional perks such as a Rainy Lure Module, an exclusive avatar pose, and encounters with more fan-favorite Water-types. New Tatsugiri-themed backpacks, each inspired by one of its three forms, are also available in the in-game shop.
