Pokemon GO has been celebrating the Alola region throughout March and now another event has arrived with the Lush Jungle and it comes with a Timed Research for players to complete.

The Lush Jungle event introduces a few more Alolan region Pokemon with Fomantis and Lurantis, along with Tapu Lele in raids.

While a number of the Pokemon in the event are Grass types, there are also others like Hoothoot and Sudowoodo that are befitting of the Jungle theme that will be spawning more often as well.

When Is The Lush Jungle Event?

The Lush Jungle event in Pokemon GO starts up on Tuesday, March 22, at 10:00 am local time and will run for a little over a week until Tuesday, March 29, at 8:00 pm.

In addition, there will also be a much shorter weekend event related to it known as the Lush Jungle weekend park spotlight, which will run from Saturday, March 26, at 10:00 am local time until Sunday, March 27, at 8:00 pm local time.
