Bruxish, Special Flabebe Join Pokemon Go's Festival of Colors

If you're still buzzing from the excitement of Pokémon Day 2025, Niantic has a fresh surprise in store with the return of the Festival of Colors event in Pokémon GO. Running from March 13th to March 17th, this lively celebration brings a splash of vibrancy to your gameplay, offering exciting encounters, bonus opportunities, and regional surprises Trainers will want to take full advantage of.

One of the key highlights? Your Lure Modules now last for three full hours, giving you more time to attract Pokémon at PokéStops. And if you're using Incense during the event, keep an eye out—Bruxish will appear more frequently! While its unsettling grin might not be everyone’s cup of tea, fans of aquatic predators resembling a fusion of piranha and anglerfish won’t want to miss this chance to add one to their collection.

Depending on where you are in the world, you may also encounter Flabébé in the wild wearing a variety of floral hues. If Lady Luck is smiling down on you, you might even stumble upon a rare White Flower Flabébé or an Orange Flower Flabébé—so stay alert and keep spinning those stops!

Don't forget to complete Field Research tasks throughout the event window to earn extra Stardust. Additionally, participating in Timed Research can reward you with valuable items like Incense, Four Rare Candies, and special event-themed Pokémon encounters. Trainers located in India will also enjoy exclusive regional bonuses—so make sure you’re out exploring during the festival!
