Features

•  Lures
  • Lures are special items which attract more foes in the overworld. They're effective up to 250 steps and are available in all Marts after Badge 2 of your character's region.
  • These items increase encounter rates slightly, only attract foes which are stronger than the normal foes in the area, and allow you to encounter more foes at the same time.
  • Some species are now Lure-exclusive encounters. These are: Starters, Togepi, and Rotom species trees.
  • Consult the Dex for where to find these species, and other rare encounters. 

 

Gift Shop

• Several new Limited items have been introduced during this event:
•  Glistening Blue & Purple Wings are now available for a limited time
•  Legendary Blue & Purple Robes are now available for a limited time

 

 

 

 

• The  Thick Winter Coat has been released. This seasonal item is available for a short period, and will return next year

 

• In addition to these Holiday-themed items, some new permanent gift shop additions have been introduced:
• The EXP Reamplifier is an item which splits experience and EVs among all healthy party members. This account-bound item has infinite use and may be toggled on or off at any time while out of battle. See the description in the Gift Shop for more details.
• Premium Lures are a class of Lure. These items are slightly more effective and last slightly longer than normal Lures found in Marts. See the description in the Gift Shop for more details.
