Dondozo debuts in Pokémon GO during this beach-themed week from 25 to 31 August, appearing in three-star raids and possibly shiny. Beach and water Pokémon, including regional Oricorio styles and a rare chance of Alolan Exeggutor, appear more often in the wild. Raids include Slakoth wearing a visor and regional Tatsugiri forms, and raiding earns extra XP.
