Pokémon Go’s annual Valentine’s Day event is happening, bringing doubled candy from catching Pokémon and other sweet bonuses to the game from Feb. 10-14, 2022. Our Pokémon Go Valentine’s Day 2022 event guide lists out the Collection Challenges, Field Research, spawns, and other bonuses.

This event also celebrates the addition of Flabébé, the flower Pokémon, to Pokémon Go. Flabébé comes in five different colors and three of the colors are region-locked to specific areas around the world.

Heart Trim Furfrou is also available during the event period, so if you’re a collector of various rare Pokémon forms, make sure to grab one before the event ends.

Gardevoir and Gallade both can get the exclusive move Synchronoise when caught from raids or evolved during the event period, as well.

There is also a global challenge for players to send a combined 70 million gifts before the event ends to get tripled transfer Candy.
