As suggested by the Community Event name, the Candle Pokémon Litwick, and his shiny variant for lucky players, will appear more frequently in the wild. His evolution, Lampent, takes center stage for the event’s featured attack, as players who evolve this Pokemon between 2-10 PM local time on the day of the event will receive a Chandelure that knows the Charged Attack Poltergeist. This has 140 Power in gyms, raids, and trainer battles.
Meanwhile, free Timed Research will let players earn up to five Unova Stones to help players evolve their Pokémon. There will also be an exclusive Special Research story, Field Notes: Trick of the Light, for which players will need to purchase a ticket for $1.
Finally, once the event concludes there will be bonus raids available between 5-10 PM local time. Lampent will appear in Four-Star Raid Battles. Once completed, for 30 minutes Litwick will appear in a 300-meter radius around the Gym that hosted the raid.
