Pokemon Go's Test Your Mettle event goes live soon with Celesteela and Kartana making their debuts
Pokémon Go’s Season of Light continues as we approach the halfway point of September. The Psychic Spectacular event recently concluded with appearances from Mega Alakazam and Deoxys. While trainers are gearing up for the Roggenrola Community Day on the 18th, Niantic is hosting one more event that further expands on all the Ultra Beast sightings that were made towards the end of last month.
We now move from an event focusing on Psychic-type Pokémon to one that features Steel-type as the Test Your Mettle event goes live in Pokémon Go between September 16th and 21st. As it is with events, players can expect to see some different Pokémon compared to usual. With the latest, you can expect Ultra Beasts and themed Pokémon appearing more in the wild and in raids, and exclusive challenges.
Test Your Mettle’s primary attractions are the two debuting Ultra Beasts – Celesteela, the Launch Pokémon and Kartana, the Drawn Sword Pokémon. Both went live before the event began and will be available in five-star raids until September 27th. A slight catch here is the Celesteela can be found only in the Southern Hemisphere, while Kartana is present in the Northern.
A third surprise debutant is the super adorable Roly-Roly Pokémon Togedemaru, who may look small and cute, but can definitely put up a fight. Besides these, Mega Aggron will show up in Mega Raids while wild encounters have a whole set of Steel-types waiting to be caught. Special field and timed research are to go live as well, which will reward players with Mega Energy for Pokémon like Steelix, Scizor, and Aggron.
All these activities will be further rewarding thanks to all the various event bonuses that will remain active on all days. Nice, Great, and Excellent Throws come with an increased chance of winning Candy XL and regular Candy too.
