Introduction to Bloom

Introduction to Bloom

Section titled “Introduction to Bloom”

Bloom adds placeable lures that increase Pokemon spawn rates in an area. Players can place lures to attract specific types of Pokemon, boost spawn rates, and increase shiny chances.

What is Bloom?

Section titled “What is Bloom?”

Bloom is a lure system that modifies Pokemon spawning in a radius around placed lure entities. Lures can target specific types, species, or spawn buckets, and apply various boosts to spawn rates, shiny chances, and hidden ability rates.

Key Features

Placeable Lures

  • Physical lure items that can be placed in the world

Targeted Attraction

Flexible Targeting

  • Species-Based: Attract specific Pokemon and their forms/aspects
  • Bucket-Based: Target spawn rarity buckets (common, uncommon, rare)
  • Blacklist Mode: Repel specific Pokemon instead of attracting them

Spawn Boosts

  • Spawn Rate: Multiply spawn frequency in the lure area
  • Shiny Rate: Increase shiny spawn chances
