The An Instinctive Hero event in Pokémon Go is running until Monday 8th May at 8pm (local time). During this time, you can enjoy three bonuses related to hatching Pokémon from eggs, including double hatch XP and double hatch stardust. The odds of hatching a shiny Pokémon from 2km, 5km and 10km has also been increased throughout the event.
The best part of this event, however, is the release of Larvesta and Volcarona into Pokémon Go.
Larvesta can be obtained from hatching 2km, 5km and 10km eggs collected during the An Instinctive Hero event. Evolving it into Volcarona will most likely take you some time, so visit our Larvesta and Volcarona page for some tips on adding these new Pokémon to your Pokédex.
An Instinctive Hero also sees the release of a new costume Pokémon - Spark-themed accessory Elekid. The only way to obtain this costume Pokémon is by completing the An Instinctive Hero special research quest.
