The Luminous Legends X event sees the release of eight Gen 6 Pokémon. This includes the fairy-type Pokémon Spritzee and Swirlix, along with their evolutions Aromatisse and Slurpuff.

The dragon-type, Goomy, and it's evolutions, Sliggo and Goodra, are also now available in Pokémon Go. If you want to evolve Sliggo into Goodra, however, you'll need to place one of the new Rainy Lure Modules at a PokéStop.

The final new Pokémon is the legendary Xerneas, which, like all legendary Pokémon, will be available for battle in five-star raids.

The spawn rate for a number of Pokémon, mostly fairy-types, has been boosted throughout the Luminous Legends X event. These Pokémon include:

• Dratini
• Ralts
• Bagon
• Cottonee
• Spritzee
• Swirlix
• Goomy

The 7km egg pool has also been altered for the Luminous Legends X event, with the following Pokémon all appearing at Tier One:

• Cleffa
• Igglybuff
• Azurill
• Gible
• Swirlix
• Spritzee

Finally, raids during the Luminous Legends X event will be focused around dragon and fairy-type Pokémon, with Venusaur, Charizard Y and Lopunny all appearing in Mega Raids.

Global Challenge and rewards for the Luminous Legends X event in Pokémon Go explained

The Luminous Legends X event in Pokémon Go has a special Global Challenge running throughout the event, which, if completed, will result in a number of rewards.

The Global Challenge is for trainers around the world to catch a total of 500 million fairy-type Pokémon by Sunday, 9th May at 11:59pm UTC.

If we achieve this goal, we'll be able to enjoy a triple Catch XP bonus, the release of shiny Galarian Ponyta and the release of Pancham in raids from Tuesday, 11th May at 10am (local time) to Monday, 17th May at 8pm (local time).

The Dual Destiny Season is here! It brings the Holiday Part 1 event with it. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.

Luminous Legends X dates and time in Pokémon Go

The Luminous Legends X event in Pokémon Go sees the release of multiple Gen 6 Pokémon in Pokémon Go, including the legendary Xerneas.

Both the timed research quest and the Luminous Legends X research tasks will only be available during the event, which runs from Tuesday, 4th May at 10am (local time) to Monday, 17th May at 8pm (local time).

The Luminous Legends X research quest consists of seven steps, which are made up of three challenges. You'll be rewarded for every overall step and individual challenge you complete, but, due to this being a timed research quest, you'll need to complete this quest within the event or else you won't be able to collect all of the rewards.

Good luck catching all the new Gen 6 Pokémon!
