If you’ve got nothing to do this Valentine’s Day, then Pokemon Go’s upcoming Carnival of Love event might be for you. Whether you’re spending the day alone or with someone special, you won’t want to miss a chance to catch all kinds of cuddly, loving Pokemon like Stufful, Snubull, and Luvdisc, among others. For two days between February 13th and 15th, players will be able to collect a new avatar pose, unique Furfrou-themed items for Pokemon Home, and – for the very first time – a Shiny Oricorio in Pokemon Go.
Celebrate Valentine’s Day With Pokemon Go’s Carnival of Love
The latest seasonal event in Pokemon Go’s arsenal is right around the corner, and it’s the Carnival of Love. Starting at 10am local time on February 13th and lasting until 8pm on February 18th, Pokemon Go will host a love-themed event, with PokeStop Showcases featuring any Pokemon players who have achieved Great Buddy level. Players will also be able to get an exclusive Furfrou trim to use in Pokemon Home. Additionally, players will be able to get the Luvdisc Tambourine Pose in the shop, and $1.00 will get you 5 encounters with a heart-patterned Spinda.
In terms of other Pokemon, the Carnival of Love event will give players increased odds of finding Stufful, Snubull, Skitty, and Luvdisc in the wild – all pink, cuddly, love-themed Pokemon. Also, for the first time ever, players will be able to find a Shiny Oricorio in the wild. Four different versions of Oricorio will be made available to players around the world: Pom-Pom Style for the Americas, Baile Style for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, Sensu Style in Asia and the Pacific, and Pa’u Style in Africa, Asia Pacific, and Caribbean Islands.
Each version of Oricorio also has it’s own shiny variant, with Pom-Pom Style sporting a lighter shade of yellow, Baile Style swapping the red and black, Sensu Style highlighting the Pokemon’s light blue colorations, and Pa’u Style inverting the white and pink. If you’re a Pokemon Go fan who’s looking forward to finding Oricorio or any of the other Carnival of Love Pokemon, then be sure to tune in staring February 13th at 10am local time.
