During the Out to Play Event, you will have the chance to encounter Hisuian Growlithe through Eggs, Field Research Task Encounters, and Timed Research. Make sure to take advantage of this, increasing your odds of encountering this brand-new Shiny Pokemon.

Two people walking a Route with Zygarde, Pikachu, Leafeon, and Charizard

There will be three different active bonuses available to all players throughout the Out to Play Event. Each of these bonuses have to do with the Routes features and adventuring in Pokemon Go, listed for you below.

  • Completing Routes will reward you with triple XP.
  • Traveling on Routes with your buddy Pokemon will earn you Candy quicker than usual.

Several different Pokemon Go Eggs and Incubators, with the Pokemon Go logo above

During the Out to Play Event, there will be a slight change to the possible Pokemon that are hatched from both 2 km and 7 km Eggs. If these two types of Eggs are acquired during the event window, you will have the chance to hatch Hisuian Growlithe from them.

The current Pokemon that are available from hatching these two Eggs types can still be hatched from these event Eggs.

Three phone screens side by side, each with a Squirtle entered into a Pokemon Showcase

Certain PokeStops will be hosting event Pokemon Showcases throughout the Out to Play Event. For these Showcases, they will require that you enter either Growlithe or Hisuian Growlithe.

With Pokemon Showcases often looking for the largest or smallest featured Pokemon, it will be beneficial for you to hold onto both Growlithe and Hisuian Growlithe that are particularly large or small.

This will allow you to enter into as many of these limited-time Pokemon Showcases as possible.

Entering Pokemon into these Showcases will give you the opportunity to earn yourself a variety of in-game rewards, providing you with better rewards for higher placement in these competitions.

Two Pokemon Go avatars both wearing Hisuian Growlithe Wigs

There will be a brand-new avatar item brought to Pokemon Go with the start of the Out to Play Event. This cosmetic item, the Hisuian Growlithe Wig, will be available to purchase from the in-game stop during this event, and even after it has concluded.
