Winter Holiday Part 2

 Winter Holiday Part 2:

 How's it goin everyone? Winter Holiday Part 2 is just around the corner. Not gonna lie, the lineup of spawns for this event is looks pretty stacked. For starters, we have the shiny debut of Vanillite and a brand new shiny costume pokemon, Psyduck, along with its evolution Golduck!

    This event will start Monday December 25 at 10 AM and ends Sunday December 31 at 8 PM local time. 

Event Bonuses:

Same bonuses from Winter Holiday Part 1

-Increased XP and Stardust from opening gifts

-2x XP or 2x catch stardust depending on the path you chose in Part 1 from the Timed Research

In The Wild:

Same spawns from Part 1 with the addition of 3 costume pokemon and vanillite

**At the time of this reporting Spheal does not appear to have a costume available in the wild so your best bet is to shiny hunt it in Field Research Tasks

*Every spawn in this event can be SHINY including costumed Pokemon except Cetoddle

Total number of costumed pokemon is 5
