Catch Pokémon That Resemble Poké Balls! Get ready to celebrate Pokémon Day by catching Pokémon that resemble Poké Balls! From Friday, February 23, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Tuesday, February 27, 2024, at 23:59 UTC, mass outbreaks of Voltorb and Foongus will be appearing throughout the Paldea region.

Shiny Voltorb and Shiny Foongus are more likely to appear in these special mass outbreaks, and lucky Trainers might even encounter a mystery Pokémon. This mystery Pokémon—which also resembles a Poké Ball—cannot normally be encountered in Paldea, so stay on the ball as you search for one!

Event Schedule Friday, February 23, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Tuesday, February 27, 2024, at 23:59 UTC

Featured Pokémon Voltorb, Foongus, and ???

Location Paldea

The visible bits of the mystery pokemon look like Hisuian Voltorb to me.

Game8 is stating it will be a Hisuian Voltorb.

Hisuian Voltorb

I hope it's Jigglypuff, seen from above

Why don't those Pokemon have guns?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Because not everything needs guns to be fun.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ok. What about base building? And adding guns on turrets for base defences

If you want to play palworld, cool. I do not have a Windows PC so I cannot. I am here in this Pokémon community to talk about Pokémon.

If you need help finding the palworld community it is here: https://lemmy.world/c/palworld

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

You tell em bot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Is it going to be the pokeball vivillion variant, because that'd actually be cool.

Kinda looks like the mystery Pokémon might be vileplume

Edit: love how my harmless speculation/guess got downvoted

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It says that it is a Pokemon not normal in Paldea.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh right. For some reason I thought they were only in the DLC

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They are, but it would be pretty lame if they advertised tiff and then it was one that was actually available in the terrarium.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately the Pokémon company is not above lame stuff sometimes…

Game8 is stating it will be a Hisuian Voltorb.

I sure hope in this case they’re more reliable than their event raid counter suggestions 😂

Husian Voltorb would be pretty sweet!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I have found their raid suggests great starting points. I have never been able to solo with them as they suggest you can. I also find raids really dependent on your team mates not grind KO’d every round. Fine you cannot bring something to do much damage, but at least do not bring a bug/grass type to a Charizard raid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I usually try to solo first and if on the last day I've had no luck I'll jump online or invite a friend. If I don't get a raid by early evening of the last day, then I'm offline until I can get together a winning solo strategy.

agreed, they're good starting points, but rarely ready for soloing as given by the site. I've been able to modify a few of their suggestions and get raid soloing beasts, though.

You're certainly right about that when going into an event raid with others, you need to be aware of the typing you choose, how it will be affected by the raid Pokemon, and how it will affect your raid mates.

I still have not had any outbreaks of the mystery Pokemon.
