What To Mega Evolve During Pokemon GO's Ultra Unlock: Better Together Event

For the Ultra Unlock: Better Together event in Pokemon GO, there is a good variety of Pokemong typings in the featured Pokemon. As this event is centered around Tandemaus primarily, we suggest mega evolving a Pidgeot or Kangaskhan for the bonus catch candy.

However, if you wish to hunt for other Pokemon during this event, feel free to mega evolve any Pokemon with the corresponding Pokemon type. For example, if you wish to collect Woopers during this event, feel free to use a Primal Groudon for extra candies for all Ground-type Pokemon.

Medals to Grind During Pokemon GO's Aquatic Paradise Event

Last on this Pokemon GO Ultra Unlock: Better Together Event Guide are the medals that you can grind during this event.

Considering players need to grind for Platinum medals in Pokemon GO, here are some of the medals players can complete during the Aquatic Paradise event.

Pokedex Medals

If you have yet to register any of the featured Pokemon for the Ultra Unlock: Better Together event, doing so will add progress toward their respective regional Pokedex medal. Each regional Pokedex requires players to register every Pokemon from that specific region except for the mythical Pokemon.

As it is the debut of both Tandemaus and Maushold in Pokemon GO, catching Tandemaus and evolving it into a Maushold will add progress towards your Paldean Pokedex.

Pokemon Type Medals

As the Ultra Unlock: Better Together event stars Tandemaus and Maushold, catching them will add progress toward the Schoolkid Medal. Finishing the Schoolkid Medal comes after a player has caught 2,5000 Normal-type Pokemon in Pokemon GO.

As this event also features a good variety of Pokemon with different typings, knocking a good chunk of other Pokemon type medals is also possible. Thus, we suggest to just catch everything in sight!

Miscellaneous Medals

  • Collector Medal – Catch 50,000 Pokemon
