As part of this event, you can complete the Lush Jungle timed research quest and collect event exclusive field research tasks. The next Alola themed special research quest - An Akala Adventure - has also been released as part of the Lush Jungle event. Best of all, however, three Gen 7 Pokémon have been released as part of this event - the legendary Tapu Lele, Fomantis and, its evolution, Lurantis. On this page: Since it’s a timed research quest, you must complete it before the event ends on Tuesday, 29th March or else you’ll miss out on the rewards. If you’d like to avoid spoilers for this quest, we suggest skipping the section below. Thank you to Amiibofan101 from reddit for the help with this information. ‘Lush Jungle’ Step 1 of 4

Thank you to SilphScience from reddit for the help with this information. Tapu Lele can be battled in five-star raids, while Fomantis can be caught through various means, including spawning more frequently in the wild during the Lush Jungle event. The following Pokémon will also be appearing more frequently in the wild:
Metapod Paras Exeggcute Pinsir Hoothoot Sudowoodo Cottonee Ferroseed
Shiny Cottonee has also been released as part of the Lush Jungle event, so keep an eye out for this new shiny form! This task will be made easier by how Cottonee will be appearing more frequently in park areas between 10am to 8pm (local time) on Saturday, 26th March and Sunday, 27th March. You’ll also be able to battle Mega Charizard Y in Mega Raids and Bellsprout, Tangela, Sewaddle and Cottonee are all appearing in one-star raids. Butterfree, Vileplume, Parasect and Exeggutor are awaiting you in three-star raids. Finally, the An Akala Adventure special research quest has been released as part of the Lush Jungle event. This is the second Alola region themed special research quest - the first being A Melemele Adventure - to be released during the Season of Alola and, by completing all four before the season ends, you’ll gain free access to an end-of-season special research quest. Make sure you complete the timed research quest and catch a couple of Fomantis before the event ends. We also recommend taking the time to complete the An Akala Adventure special research quest, so you’re one step closer to unlocking the end-of-season special research quest! Have fun during the Lush Jungle event!
