Get 3 rare monsters in Pokémon GO for a limited time or you’ll have to wait months for a new chance

In Pokémon GO, as part of the Valentine’s Day event, you have the opportunity to secure 3 rare monsters – but only for a limited time. We at MeinMMO will show you which Pokémon these are and how you can find them in the game in the coming days.

Which event is it about? Lovers’ Day is being celebrated in Pokémon GO, which is why a special Valentine’s Day event is taking place. Lots of bonuses and spawns await you for this one.

You can also encounter 3 rare monsters for a short time, which you won’t see again anytime soon. What they are and how you get them, we have summarized below.

When is the event running? The Valentine’s Day event runs from February 08, 2023 at 10:00 local time to February 14, 2023 at 20:00 local time.

Coiffwaff (heart cut)

What is this Pokemon? Coiffwaff is a normal Pokémon from the 6th game generation, which has no advance or further developments. However, in addition to its shaggy form, it has 9 other forms – and this is how you get them. One of them is the heart cut, which is usually only available once a year to coincide with Valentine’s Day.

This is how you were able to secure the heart cut in the game as part of the Valentine’s Day 2022 event. Now it’s finally available again, so you shouldn’t miss this chance.

Is hairdresser strong? No, Coiffwaff isn’t particularly strong and doesn’t play a special role in either raids or PvP battles. It is therefore particularly interesting for collectors.

where to get it Coiffwaff (shaggy form) can be found more often in the wilderness or in level 1 raids in the coming days. With a bit of luck, it will even await you there in its dazzling variant.

In order to get the heart cut, you need to change the monster’s shape accordingly, because you can’t just catch the different shapes in the game.

In the following article, we explain how you can change your coiff waff (shaggy shape) into a heart cut:

Pandir with fur pattern 9

What is this Pokemon? Another rare Pokemon to grab as part of the Valentine’s Day event is Pandir. The Pokémon from the 3rd generation of games of the Normal type also has no advances or further developments. Similar to Coiffwaff, Pandir also has different forms that differ in terms of their fur pattern.

Patterns 1 to 8 alternate monthly throughout the year. As part of the Valentine’s Day event, you can once again get Pandir with fur pattern 9 in-game for a few days. The little panda wears a pink heart over his right eye.

Just like Coiffwaff, Pandir in this heart shape was last available in the game for Valentine’s Day 2022, which is why it can be assumed that you won’t be able to secure this shape until next year if you miss the chance now.

Is Pandir strong? No, Pandir is not strong and has no use in GO Battle League and Raids. However, the little panda is relatively difficult to get in the game in all its forms, since it does not spawn in the wild. In addition, he can only be caught once a year with coat pattern 9, which is why he is particularly popular with collectors.

Shiny hunters in particular are hoping for a corresponding copy. This is not only visually different from the normal variant due to its green pattern, but also because the heart of the Shiny is broken.

where to get it Pandir with Fur Pattern 9 can be found in the event quest “Get 5 Great Throws in a Row” during the Valentine’s Day Event. You can spin the task at the PokéStops and it will then appear in your “Field” view, which you can access by clicking on the binoculars.

Make sure that the note “Event” is on the task. If this is not the case, then it is a field research from February, where you can also get Pandir, but with fur pattern 8.

illuminate

What is this Pokemon? Illumise is a beetle Pokémon from the 3rd generation of games, which also has no advance or further developments. However, the small purple beetle can usually only be found regionally. Outside of special events, he only spawns in America and Africa.

On the occasion of the Valentine’s Day event, Illumise can also be caught with us for a short time. After the event, it will return to us briefly as part of the worldwide Hoenn tour at the end of February, until it will only be found regionally again for an indefinite period of time. So if you still need the Beetle in your collection, you shouldn’t miss the opportunity now.

Is Illumise strong? No, Illumise is not particularly strong, which is why you should rather rely on stronger candidates for use in trainer battles or raids. However, the little beetle is interesting for collectors, since you can usually only find it in its region, which makes it so rare.

Here we show you all regional monsters in Pokémon GO.

where to get it In the next few days you will find Illumise more often in the wild. With a bit of luck, you might even come across a dazzling specimen.

More rare monsters for the Valentine’s Day event

In addition to Coiffwaff (heart shape), Pandir with fur pattern 9 and Illumise, you can catch other monsters in the game in the coming days that you usually don’t find that often there.

Although these are also out and about in Pokémon GO outside of the event, they spawn there much less frequently than other Pokémon, which also makes them special. So keep an eye out for the following monsters:

Flabebe: The Fairy Pokémon from the 6th generation of games can be found here in Germany in the coming days with a red flower in the wild. With a bit of luck, it will also spawn there in white and in orange. However, its two other forms are only available regionally. And it’s not yet available as a Shiny either.

With its further development Florges, it is one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO, which is why a strong example of the fairy Pokémon can be worthwhile for you. And the little flower can also be seen in the master league (via pvpoke.com).

We show you other strong attackers in Pokémon GO in the following video:

Psiau: Psiau is a Psychic Pokémon from the 6th generation of games, which can be further evolved into Psiaugon female and male. However, the little monster does not spawn in the wild. It can usually only be found in the 10km eggs, making it correspondingly rare.

At certain events, like now for the Valentine’s Day event, you can also look at level 1 raids. Since Psiau and its further developments are not particularly strong and are therefore not used in raids and the GO battle league, it is of particular interest to shiny hunters.

How do you like the spawns during the Valentine’s Day event? Will you secure the rare monsters? Or are you more interested in other Pokémon? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.
