Get ready to catch some of the smallest yet most exciting Pokémon during the Small Yet Strong event in Pokémon Go, running from February 5th to 8th.

During the Small Yet Strong event, you'll earn double XP for catching Pokémon and have an increased chance of encountering XXS and XXL Pokémon in the wild. A highlight of the event is the debut of Shiny Nymble, adding a new shiny Pokémon to your collection.

Keep an eye out for regional Flabébé variations during the event, including the Red Flower in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, the Blue Flower in the Asia-Pacific region, and the Yellow Flower in the Americas. You might also encounter the White or Orange Flower Flabébé, regardless of your location.
Other Pokémon appearing more frequently in the wild include Paras, Natu, Joltik, and various Burmy forms. For a challenging twist, you'll find Dialga and Enamorus (Incarnate Forme) in Five-Star Raids, with Mega Medicham and Mega Tyranitar dominating the Mega Raids. Both raid and wild encounters offer opportunities to catch rare Shiny Pokémon if luck is on your side.
For collectors, two km Eggs hatched during the event may contain Pokémon like Togepi, Azurill, Budew, and Dedenne. Completing Field Research tasks will reward you with encounters with Burmy and Nymble. Don't miss out on the event-themed Timed Research and Collection Challenge, which offer rewards such as Stardust, Poké Balls, and more encounters with event-themed Pokémon.
To top it all off, PokéStop Showcases will feature event-themed Pokémon, so keep an eye out. Don't forget to visit the Pokémon Go Web Store, where you can stock up on all the resources necessary to kickstart your journey.
