The annual Spring time event in Pokémon has started yesterday. It will remain active until Monday April 18th at 8 pm local time. There are somewhat new Flower Crown costumed Pokémon appearing in this event, but not entirely new. Sometime ago we received Togepi with a flower crown, and Buneary with a flower crown. But they could not be evolved at that time. This year they can evolve! So any Togepi hatched from Eggs with a flower crown can be evolved into Togetic and Togekiss. Same with any flower crown Buneary caught. On top of that, Togetic with flower crown will also be appearing in the wild.

There's also a focus on the Ula'ula Island from the Alola region, with a Special Research for it.

As part of the Ula'ula Island focus, we have another of the guardian deities appearing in Level 5 Raids now, this time it's Tapu Bulu. Here is my Pokédex registry and the stats for the first one that I caught.

The event also has a Collection Challenge. Here are photos of all the Pokémon you have to catch and the rewards received from completing it.

During this event there is 2x Hatch Candy and 1/2 Hatch Distance. Perfect with the 2 km Eggs having many Baby Pokémon in them if you obtain the Eggs during this event. Almost only Baby Pokémon will be in 2 km Eggs from this event, with the exclusion of also Exeggcute because there will be a Limited Research Day with Exeggcute on Saturday April 16th from 11 am through 2 pm. During that limited event you can evolve Kantonian Exeggcute into Alolan Exeggcutor and if you evolve them during this time, Alolan Exeggcutor will learn the Charged Attack Draco Meteor.

In 2 km Eggs from the event you can find:

• Pichu wearing a flower crown
• Igglybuff
• Azurill
• Munchlax
• Happiny wearing a flower crown
• Togepi wearing a flower crown
• Exeggcute
• Chingling
• Riolu
