Pokémon GO’s Spring Event 2025: New Pokémon, Rotating Spawns, and Exciting Challenges
Spring is in full bloom, and so is Pokémon GO with its vibrant “Spring into Spring” event for 2025. From April 9th to April 14th, trainers are invited to celebrate the season of renewal and growth in this exciting, festival-like extravaganza. With a mix of new Pokémon, rotating spawns, exclusive research tasks, and more, there’s plenty to keep both veteran and new players engaged throughout the week.
The event brings back some familiar features, while also introducing exciting twists to make every day an adventure. Whether you’re catching seasonal Pokémon or chasing after exclusive rewards, Niantic has packed plenty of action into this year’s spring celebration.
A New Pokédex Update: Gossifleur and Eldegoss Debut
One of the most anticipated highlights of the “Spring into Spring” event is the debut of two Grass-type Pokémon that perfectly match the season’s theme: Gossifleur and its evolution Eldegoss. These nature-inspired Pokémon, dripping with sunny vibes, are sure to add a fresh pop to any trainer’s Pokédex. The event sees an increased chance of encountering Gossifleur in the wild, as well as through event-specific tasks and eggs.
With this addition, the celebration leans heavily into the theme of nature’s growth, making it the perfect time for trainers to embrace the changing season and the new creatures it brings.
Rotating Spawns: A New Cast Every Two Days
One of the most unique features of this year’s event is the rotating spawns. Pokémon will shift in and out every couple of days, encouraging players to log in regularly and check in with the event. Here’s a sneak peek at the different themes for each phase:
April 9-10: Water and Plant-type Pokémon take the spotlight. Trainers can expect to find Marill, Lotads, Ducklett, Dewpider, and even the ever-popular Lapras. With these creatures all about water and greenery, it’s the perfect way to kick off spring.
April 11-12: The spotlight shifts to fire and ground-type Pokémon. Vulpix, Ponyta, Numel, Litleo, and Hisuian Growlithe will take center stage, giving trainers a chance to catch these rare and beautiful creatures.
April 13-14: The theme continues with more Grass-type Pokémon, including Oddish, Hoppip, Roselia, Cherubi, and Alolan Exeggutor. The season of blooming flowers is brought to life, bringing an even more festive air to the final days of the event.
Hatching Surprises: Spring-Themed Eggs
Egg hatching gets a spring makeover this year, with themed Pokémon making their way into 2km and 5km Eggs. While the exact hatch list has yet to be fully revealed, trainers are encouraged to stock up on Incubators as they prepare for the surprises that could hatch in the warmer weather.
This feature adds another layer of excitement for players who love the thrill of hatching new Pokémon, and with the event only lasting a week, there’s no better time to get moving and explore your surroundings.
Timed and Field Research Challenges: A Spring Adventure
Of course, no Pokémon GO event would be complete without some exclusive research challenges. This year, the “Rainy Days” Collection Challenge is the highlight, where trainers are tasked with catching Pokémon related to the rainy spring season. As always, completing the challenge will reward players with valuable items, XP, and the possibility of encountering rare event Pokémon.
With each task tied to the season’s theme of blooming and rainy days, it’s a perfect way to tie the event together and keep players engaged from start to finish.
Seasonal Bonuses and Community Power
While Niantic has yet to announce global bonuses such as double XP or Candy, the nature of this event fosters a sense of community and excitement among trainers. The rotating spawns and the event’s limited duration create a fast-paced, almost “panic-fueled” rush for rewards, making the event feel like a true festival for trainers of all levels.
Whether you’re chasing Gossifleur, hunting for Hisuian Growlithe, or simply soaking in the spring atmosphere, this event is sure to evoke feelings of nostalgia while still offering something fresh. The fast pace and constant changes mean there’s always something new to experience, even for seasoned veterans.
Play Safe and Enjoy the Spring Vibes
As always, Niantic reminds players to remain aware of their environment and play safely while enjoying the event. With so many Pokémon to catch and tasks to complete, be sure to keep those Incubators running and your fingers crossed for a few surprises to hatch along the way.
In the spirit of community and creativity, the “Spring into Spring” event in Pokémon GO offers a fantastic blend of new challenges, Pokémon, and seasonal fun. The event is as much about exploring the world around you as it is about collecting, and with the chance to meet up with fellow trainers, there’s never been a better time to embrace the spring season.
