Get ready for a magical adventure, Pokémon GO trainers! The Enchanted Hollow event is here, and it’s bringing a spooky yet enchanting twist to your gameplay. Running from November 4th at 10:00 a.m. to November 9th at 8:00 p.m. local time, this event introduces two new Pokémon to the mix: Tarountula and Spidops. But here's where it gets exciting—the entire experience is set in a glowing, mystical forest, with PokéStops transforming into radiant hubs of activity. And this is the part most people miss: the event bonuses are designed to keep you engaged and rewarded, with double XP for spinning PokéStops, extended Lure Module durations, and a higher chance to encounter Shiny Paras and Shiny Stantler.
In the wild, you’ll spot familiar faces like Paras, Stantler, and Nickit, but keep your eyes peeled for the elusive Tarountula! Don’t miss out on the increased encounters with Paras, Stantler, Cottonee, Petilil, Karrablast, Shelmet, and Tarountula around PokéStops activated with Mossy Lure Modules. But here’s where it gets controversial—is the Mossy Lure Module worth the effort, or are there better ways to maximize your Pokémon encounters?
If you’re up for a challenge, head into raids to battle Paras, Stantler, and Tarountula in One-Star Raids, or test your skills against Leavanny, Scolipede, and Drampa in Three-Star Raids. And this is the part that sparks debate—are these raid Pokémon worth the effort, or should you focus on other event activities?
The Enchanted Hollow event also features themed Field Research, Collection Challenges, and paid Timed Research. Completing Field Research tasks will reward you with encounters featuring Paras, Stantler, Cottonee, Petilil, Karrablast, Shelmet, and Drampa. Collection Challenges offer XP and Tarountula encounters, while the paid Timed Research, available for US$1.99 (or local equivalent), includes rewards like a Mossy Lure Module, Incense, Lucky Eggs, and guaranteed encounters with Paras, Stantler, Drampa, and Tarountula. But here’s the question—is the paid research worth the investment, or can you achieve similar results through free gameplay?
As you dive into this enchanting event, remember to explore every corner of the mystical forest and make the most of the bonuses. Whether you’re a seasoned trainer or a beginner, there’s something for everyone. So, what’s your take? Are you excited to catch Tarountula and Spidops, or do you think the event could have offered more? Let us know in the comments—we’d love to hear your thoughts and strategies for making the most of Enchanted Hollow!
