During this event, players of the premier Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> mobile game will be able to catch shiny Elgyem for the first time, and you could also try your luck against Mega Alakazam in raid battles.<\/p>\n This is all part of the ongoing Season of Light event series, and you can keep on reading for all the key details on how to make the most of this year\u2019s Pok\u00e9mon Go Psychic Spectacular.<\/p>\n The Pok\u00e9mon Go Psychic Spectacular started at 10am on Tuesday 6th September<\/strong>, so there\u2019s nothing to stop your from jumping into it immediately.<\/p>\n The event will end on Monday 12th September at 8pm<\/strong> local time (wherever you are in the world), so you\u2019ll want to get involved sooner rather than later!<\/p>\n Elgyem is making its Pok\u00e9mon Go debut during the Psychic Spectacular event, but how exactly are you meant to catch one?<\/p>\n Niantic has confirmed that Elgyem will be spawning in the wild<\/strong> for the duration of this event. So, if you want to catch an Elgyem, you can simply walk around and search the game\u2019s overworld until you spot one. The same goes for the even rarer shiny Elgyem!<\/p>\n It will also be possible to encounter an Elgyem when you complete Field Research Tasks during the event. Timed Research focused on Curveball Throws will also reward with Elgyem encounters.<\/p>\n Mega Alakazam is the other headline star of Pok\u00e9mon Go Psychic Spectacular, and there\u2019s only one way to catch one!<\/p>\n For the duration of the event, Mega Alakazam will be appearing in Mega Raids, so you\u2019ll need to participate in Raid Battles<\/strong> in order to catch a Mega Alakazam for yourself. Wander around the world for long enough and you should see a Mega Alakazam, perhaps even a shiny one, hovering above a raid location.<\/p>\n If you do choose to battle Mega Alakazam, what are the best counters to use? It\u2019s worth remembering that Mega Alakazam is weak against Bug-type, Ghost-type and Dark-type Pok\u00e9mon<\/strong>. So, you\u2019d do well to send out the strongest fighter you\u2019ve got in any of those types. We\u2019d recommend Mega Gengar as a particularly powerful opponent for Mega Alakazam, but of course you\u2019ll have to work with what you\u2019ve got!<\/p> In other Alakazam news, that Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s Psychic move (a Charged Attack which boasts 90 power) is the Featured Attack for the duration of Pok\u00e9mon Go Psychic Spectacular. If you catch an Alakazam during the event, or evolve a Kadabra into an Alakazam, it will know that powerful move.<\/p>\n Alongside Elgyem, the following Pok\u00e9mon will also be appearing in wild encounters during the event: Abra, Slowpoke, Drowzee, Natu, Ralts, Spoink, Munna, Woobat, Gothita, Solosis, Kadabra and Kirlia.<\/p>\n In Raid Battles, these critters will be featuring alongside Mega Alakazam: Espurr and various versions of Unown (E, P and S) will be in One-Star Raids; Alolan Raichu, Wobbuffet, Girafarig and Oranguru are in Three-Star Raids; and in Five-Star Raids, up for grabs will be various forms of Deoxys (normal, attack, defence and speed).<\/p>\n There will also be a Deoxys Raid Day on Sunday 11th September, running from 2pm to 5pm local time, where all of the Deoxys forms will appear in Raid Battles more frequently.<\/p>\n Spawning from 7km eggs will be Smoochum, Wynaut and Chingling. And in Field Research encounters, you can expect to see Baltoy, Chimecho and Hypno as well as Elgyem.
