Pokémon GO’s Psychic Spectacular event has Psychic-type Pokémon on everyone’s minds! From September 18 to September 22, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. local time, Trainers will be able to encounter a mind-blowing array of Psychic-type Pokémon (and Pokémon of a similarly whimsical nature) in the wild. Be sure to keep a Calm Mind and aim your Poké Balls with care during the event—successfully catching Pokémon with Nice Throws or better will award additional Candy, and Trainers level 31 and up will also have an increased chance to receive Candy XL. That’s not all—Trainers will also earn 2× Catch Stardust during the event.

Hats Off to Hatenna

Hatenna, the Calm Pokémon, will be featured during the Psychic Spectacular event as the latest Pokémon from the Galar region to debut in Pokémon GO! Gather Hatenna Candy if you’re after its Evolutions, Hattrem and Hatterene. These Pokémon are known for being reclusive due to their sensitivity to others’ emotions, but don’t let that discourage you. Keep calm, and catch on!

Hatenna may be headlining the Psychic Spectacular, but plenty of other Pokémon will also appear more frequently in the wild during the event. Pokémon in italics below have a chance of appearing as Shiny Pokémon!

• Ralts

• Spoink

• Gothita

• Solosis

• Elgyem

• Spritzee

• Swirlix

• Inkay

• Morelull

• Hatenna

The following Pokémon will hatch from 7 km Eggs received during the event. Those in italics have a chance of appearing as Shiny Pokémon!

• Mawile

• Chingling

• Espurr

• Hatenna

GO Big with Beldum

Trainers can GO Big with the Steel- and Psychic-type Beldum (and its Evolutions) as it appears in one-star Max Battles for the first time during the Psychic Spectacular. Don’t miss this chance to add one of the more powerful Steel-type attackers to your Max Battle repertoire!

Field Research

Manifest more encounters with event-themed Pokémon—including the newly Hatenna—by spinning PokéStops for event-exclusive Field Research tasks! Additionally, Morelull encountered via Field Research will have a greater chance of being Shiny than those found in the wild.

See below for a list of Pokémon that can be encountered via event-exclusive Field Research. Those in italics have a chance of appearing as Shiny Pokémon!

• Gothita

• Solosis

• Elgyem

• Spritzee

• Swirlix

Collection Challenges and PokéStop Showcases

The Psychic Spectacular will also feature event-themed Collection Challenges and PokéStop Showcases! Completing Collection Challenges will award more encounters with Hatenna, so make sure to catch event-themed Pokémon. Check out the Pokémon GO blog for more details.
