Players can collect Poke Balls before the Pokemon Go Tour: Johto event.
Trainers, the Pokemon Go Tour: Johto event is scheduled to take place on February 26, 2022. Ahead of the event, Pokemon Go will hold a “Pokemon Go Tour Poke Ball Prep Rally” event that will give players the chance to stock up on Poke Balls.
The Pokemon Go Tour Poke Ball Prep Rally event will run from February 18 at 10 a.m. local time until February 25 at 8 p.m. local time.
When this event begins, Hisuian Electrode will be added to Pokemon Go. Players will be able to evolve Hisuian Voltorb into Hisuian Electrode using 50 Voltorb Candy.
In addition, once this event begins, players will be able to purchase the Ball Guy Costume for their in-game avatar from the game’s shop. This costume is inspired by the Ball Guy character from the Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield video games.
During the Pokemon Go Tour Poke Ball Prep Rally event, Voltorb, Hisuian Voltorb, Koffing, Marill, Wailmer, Solosis, and Foongus will appear more frequently than normal in the wild. Jigglypuff, Electrode, Amoonguss, and Galarian Stunfisk will also have the chance to appear in the wild, though the Pokemon Go website indicated these pocket monsters will be rarer than the other Pokemon featured during this event.
Elsewhere, players will be able to complete Timed Research tasks during this event to earn Poke Balls. Players will also be able to complete event-themed Field Research tasks to earn Poke Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls. Lastly, Buddy Pokemon will bring players Gifts containing Poke Balls during this event.
