How to tell a mighty spawn
A mighty Pokemon shows a pulsing wave around it on the map. Tapping it starts a special encounter - expect high levels, boosted IV odds, XL/XXL sizes, and a fight to keep it in the ball. GO Safari Balls (spun from PokeStops and Gyms during the same hours) are built for exactly this.
Before and after the window
- Mighty spawns only exist while the event is live - outside 10:00-18:00 the same species appear as ordinary spawns.
- One-day species can't be wild-caught on the other day - Walrein, Metagross and Haxorus are Saturday-only in the wild; Ferrothorn, Goodra, Noivern, Tinkaton and Clodsire are Sunday-only.
- Anything in the Incense pool is fair game both days - ten species share it, so Saturday leftovers aren't lost.
