More Psychic-type Pokémon to your roster.
This article is over 4 years old and may contain outdated information

After Dragon Week ends in Pokémon Go’s on August 7 at precisely 1 pm PT, Enigma Week begins. It’s the second Ultra Unlock week players were able to activate during Pokémon Go Fest 2020 after completing 16 global challenges. Engima Week focuses on the more mysterious Pokémon, such as the Unown, Deoxys, and, making its debut, Elgyem. It will be available to catch after the event, but it will more frequently spawn until the end of Enigma Week on August 14.

Elgyem is a Psychic-type Pokémon and evolves into Beheeyem. Beheeyem has a maximum CP of 2,753, an attack of 221, an defense of 163, and a stamina of 181. Given these stats, it’s a decent choice for those fighting in the Great League, and you want to build around it when using it in the Ultra League. It does fall short in the Master League, though. It’s a good choice to use it in raids when fighting against Fighting or Poison-type Pokémon.

You can catch Elgyem all over Pokémon Go. It will be available in the wild and 7-kilometer eggs, making it a decently common sight for Enigma Week. To increase your chances of capturing it, make sure to activate your incense to lure them to your location. You may also encounter Staryu, Jigglypuff, Clefairy, Lunatone, Solrock, Baltoy, and Bronzor.
