This event will be available from February 14th until February 29th 00:00-UTC+0
Abundant Shrine
A fortune teller has appeared in Celadon City, Slateport City, Hearthome City, Ecruteak City, and Nacrene City seeking assistance for the new year.
Abundant Shrine is a 4 player co-op mission. Defeat as many enemies as possible and may good fortune shine upon you.

Swarms have become more frequent for this event! Keep an eye out for Zodiac-themed Swarms featuring rare species.

New Year Swarms
To the lament of the festival celebrants, swarms have become more common for this event.
An Old Woman nearby the Shrine Maiden has taken it upon herself to tame the unruly monsters with your help. Bring them to her to claim Mysterious Cherish Balls.
Rumor has it she has a large family traveling to see her soon.
