The new adventure smoke in Pokémon GO can attract rare Pokémon. But the World Cup event, which runs until tomorrow, makes the effort even more worthwhile than usual.
What is that smoke? In addition to the “normal” smoke, weeks ago Niantic activated a new type of this item, the adventure smoke. The item only lasts 15 minutes, but if you move while using it, you’ll encounter rare monsters like Galar Articulates.
That makes the smoke generally good. But along with the World Championship event, a trainer noticed that you can secure certain attacks.
That’s why you should still use the adventure smoke now
The trainer shows: On reddit, user deanz3 writes “Rihornior from Daily Adventure Smoke learns Rock Thrower”. In addition, deanz3 publishes two screenshots, before and immediately after the catch, which prove his statement. You can see the screenshots here on reddit.
why is this good With the World Championship event active, some Pokémon are currently able to learn moves that they can only learn on special occasions such as Community Days. An event of this kind is rare and you should take advantage of it. Rihornior is very popular as an attacker in raids. With a move set consisting of catapult (instant attack) and rock thrower (charged attack), the Pokémon causes particularly high damage. This is how Rihornior becomes the best rock attacker in Pokémon GO.
So the fact that you can get Rhyperior with Boulder Thrower from the Daily Adventure Smoke is correspondingly strong. It should be said that the other Pokémon that can now learn special attacks for the World Cup event also master these attacks when caught. Rihornior is not an isolated case, but an example.
One trainer writes in the comments that he caught a wild Gyarados and that it mastered the Wet Tail attack. In general, it is worthwhile to be on the hunt for these Pokémon.
Pokémon GO: 3 developments that are really worthwhile for the World Cup event
How much longer? You can still find these special attacks in the evolved Pokémon until the end of the World Championship event. This runs until Tuesday. August 23 at 8:00 p.m. local time. So it’s worth it for you to walk around with the adventure smoke today and tomorrow and pay attention to the spawns. Maybe you’ll find some strong Pokemon along the way.
