Rowlet, a Flying and Grass-type Pokemon, is available to encounter in the wild during the celebration. However, you can only encounter all Alolan Starters from July 2 at 10 am to July 3 at 8 pm local time.

To find a Rowlet in the 8th Anniversary Party event, you should use Lure Module and Incense. The effect of these items improves the spawn rate of a Wild Pokemon. Moreover, the best plan of action would be to activate the said items in areas with Sunny or Windy weather. These weather conditions naturally boost the rate of a wild Rowlet’s appearance.

Popplio, a first partner Pokemon from Alola, is a single Water-type species. At the party event, you can find this creature in the wild. Aside from the Rain weather in-game, the Pokemon spawns in reduced numbers in areas with other weathers. Therefore, you should play Pokemon GO where conditions are favorable.

If you want to get Popplio in this program, you will want to find a suitable place where Lure Modules can be attached to PokeStops. Further, utilize the effect of Incense to boost the overall spawn rate of Popplio.

The lure items, such as Lure Module and Incense, have a unique effect that enhances the wild Pokemon spawn rates. Since Litten is encounterable in the overworld, these resources are sure to come in handy.


Can you get all Alolan Staters at once in Pokemon GO 8th Anniversary Party?

Yes, you can complete the Field Research quest given by the PokeStops to get all three Alola Starters in this Pokemon GO event.


What is the best method to get Shiny Rowlet, Shiny Popplio, and Shiny Litten?
