Oricorio is a regionally exclusive Pokémon, with its four styles divided across the world. For this reason, it’s a good idea to know which Oricorio form can be found in your region. There’s also a Festival of Colors Collection Challenge and event exclusive field research tasks for you to complete. On this page: Here are the Pokémon you need to find for the Festival of Colors Collection Challenge:
Slugma - In the wild Trapinch - In the wild Drowzee - In the wild and field research task (Take a snapshot of a wild Pokémon) Turtwig - In the wild Horsea - In the wild Taillow - In the wild Gligar - In the wild Oricorio - In the wild and field research task (Catch 10 different species of Pokémon)
Completing this challenge will reward you with 20,000 XP, 3000 Stardust and Oricorio encounter. Remember - the Oricorio style you’ll receive will depend on the region you complete the Collection Challenge in.
The Season of Mythical Wishes continues with the Winter Holiday event, which has brought Mega Glalie to Pokémon Go. Don’t forget to partake in the new Go Battle League season.
Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
Though these tasks can be saved and completed after the event, we recommend completing some during the event, because a number of the Pokémon rewards you earn will help you complete the Festival of Colors Collection Challenge.

Thank you to SilphScience from reddit for the help with this information! Oricorio has four different forms which are each inspired by a different dance style found across the world; Pa’u Style Oricorio is inspired by hula, for example, while Baile Style is inspired by flamenco. Each Oricorio style also has a different typing - Sensu Style is a ghost and flying-type Pokémon, while Pom-Pom Style is an electric and flying-type. In Pokémon Go, the Oricorio styles have been divided across the world making it the first regionally exclusive Pokémon for Gen 7. This means, if you want to collect all four Oricorio forms, you need to either visit or trade with players from different regions. If you’d like to learn more about this dance themed Pokémon, visit our Oricorio guide. The Oricorio style for your region will be appearing more frequently in the wild during the Festival of Colors event, along with the following Pokémon:
Drowzee Horsea Gligar Slugma Beautifly Dustox Taillow Trapinch Turtwig Croagunk Alomomola Fletchling
Meanwhile, in five-star raids, you’ll be able to battle Therian Forme Tornadus and Mega Lopunny has returned to Mega Raids.
