Everything you need to know about this new item.
In 2019, three new Lure Modules were added to Pokemon Go, allowing players to attract specific types of Pokemon to PokeStops for a limited time. These “Glacial,” “Mossy,” and “Magnetic” Lure Modules can also be used to evolve certain Pokemon (Eevee and Magneton).
As part of the Luminous Legends X event, which ran from May 4, 2021 until May 17 2021, a new type of Lure Module was added to the game: the Rainy Lure Module.
The Rainy Lure Module can be placed on a PokeStop to attract Water-, Bug-, and Electric-Type Pokemon to the location for a limited time.
In addition, the Rainy Lure Module can be used to evolve Sliggoo into Goodra. Specifically, you can evolve Sliggoo into Goodra when you’re close enough to a PokeStop in the real-world that has an active Rainy Lure Module (Sliggoo can also be evolved into Goodra when the in-game weather is “Rainy”).
As of this writing, the Rainy Lure Module isn’t available to purchase in Pokemon Go’s item shop, but we expect it will be added for purchase in the future. (We’ll update this space when and if that’s the case.) Update (05/13/2021): Rainy Lure Modules are now available to purchase in the Item Shop for 200 PokeCoins each.
For now, players can earn a free Rainy Lure Module by completing the Luminous Legends X Timed Research tasks. It’s possible other opportunities to receive free Rainy Lure Modules will be available in the future, and we’ll make sure to let you know if that’s the case.
