Pokemon GO Adding Gen 8 Pokemon in Upcoming Event

Pokemon GO has announced that Gossifleur and Eldegoss will debut during the Spring to Spring event, which will begin on April 9. This will be one of several activities confirmed for Pokemon GO players in April, marking the addition of an adorable duo.

Gossifleur and Edelgoss were introduced in Gen 8 with the release of Pokemon Sword and Shield. Gossifleur is a small plant-like creature with a large yellow flower on its head that, upon reaching level 20, evolves into Eldegoss. Based on a cotton flower, Eldegoss has white fluff larger than its body and tiny seeds scattered on the top. Expanding Pokemon GO‘s Pokedex again, the duo is coming to the game.
