Pokemon Go: Which Pokemon Are Attracted To Each Lure

There used to be just one type of Lure Module, but now there are a few more. Here are the Pokemon you can expect to be attracted to each one.

Although some features will extend this event, the Adamant Time Event will be active from Monday, December 11, at 10am local time to Friday, December 15, at 8pm local time, only being available for about five days. There will be several in-game changes and event bonuses that come with this event, all outlined below in our complete Adamant Time Event guide.

Event Bonuses

There will only be two main bonuses for this event, one only available during the days of this event, and one extending past its conclusion.

For the first bonus, you will receive triple the XP for catching different Pokemon during this event. With catches using Nice, Great, and Excellent throws awarding the most XP, do your best to attempt to catch Pokemon with accurate throws.

Further the XP that you gain from this bonus through the use of the Lucky Egg item, doubling all XP you earn for 30 minutes.

The second bonus pertains to Lucky Trades, not only being available during this event, but rather being a permanent change. Starting with this event, the maximum number of guaranteed Lucky Trades will be increased from 15 to 25. Additionally, up until this new maximum is reached, any traded Pokemon that has been in Pokemon storage since at least 2018 will become a Lucky Pokemon.
