This time around, trainers can get their hands on Fomantis, a Grass-type Pokémon from Pokémon Sun and Moon. Its evolutionary form, Lurantis, is also present in the game and will evolve after being exposed to 50 Fomantis candy during the day.
This event focuses on increasing the spawn rate of all Grass-type Pokémon.

Not only that, but Tapu Lele, one of the guardian deity Pokémon, will appear in five-star raid battles. There are tons to look forward to during the Lush Jungle event, but the most important might be its Timed Research tasks.
