Pokémon Go Tour: How to get Torkoal, Tropius, and Relicanth

Torkoal, Tropius, and Relicanth — three Pokémon who are usually regional exclusive — are available for all players globally as part of the Go Tour: Hoenn event in Pokémon Go.

This gives players a great opportunity to fill in some common gaps in their Hoenn Pokédex, as they are rarely available outside of their regional habitat.

However, they are not found in wild and can only be found eggs. This is the problem with the event weekend.

How to get Torkoal, Tropius, and Relicanth in Pokémon Go this weekend

The only way you can get regional Pokémon The hatching of 10km eggs is what separates Tropius and Torkoal from Relicanth.

To get 10 km eggs, you’ll need to spin PokéStops. The good news is the three regional Pokémon (Torkoal, Tropius, and Relicanth) will be the only Pokémon in the 10 km egg pool, making this process a little easier than most rare Pokémon appearances in eggs.

Keep in mind the 10-kilometer egg pool Only during the event hours will these prices changeThe event takes place between 10 and 6 in the local time zone on February 25th and 26th.

If you’re really lucky, Tropius and Torkoal are also available for shiny finds.

Relicanth, Tropius and Torkoal: Tips

Getting a 10 km egg from spinning a PokéStop is completely random. You’ll just have to make sure to spin the Stops and quickly hatch and 2 or 5 km eggs to make room for the 10 km eggs.

Help maximize egg spaceIf you are a member of Team Go Rocket, it is best to not give out gifts to friends. As the 12 km reward for your effort, you should avoid fighting Team Go Rocket leaders. You can have as many eggs as you like, but if you only have nine, then the 12km egg will be stored in the additional storage. Keep your Rocket Radars stocked up until the egg count is exhausted.

If you didn’t get lucky enough to complete these missing Pokédex entries, your friends may have hatched some, so it doesn’t hurt to ask for a trade.

Other challenges during Go Tour Hoenn includes “Chasing Legends” (free for all players), Spooky Cipher research quests and Masterwork: “Wish Granted” (premium quest from the shop).

During the weekends, you might also see Latios/Latias as well as Primal Kyogre or Groudon.
