All increased spawns, encounters, and event raids for Pokémon Go Enigma Week

You can't really classify half of these Pokémon.

Players met the Ultra Unlock requirements during Pokémon Go Fest 2020, so Niantic is in the middle of releasing themed weeks of content for everyone to enjoy.

Moving on from Dragon Week, players will now be dealing with Pokémon that are considered enigmas compared to other species in the world. This means increased spawn rates for specific Pokémon and changes to Egg and event raid pools. 

Each week will also come with a timed research task that, if you complete it before the end of the week, will reward you with extra, rare encounters. For Enigma Week, you will have the chance to encounter the alien-like Psychic-type Elgyem and Beheeyem, which are being added to the game for the first time. 

Shiny Unknown will also be appearing, but only Unown U, L, T, R, and A, along with Shiny Staryu, Starmie, and Deoxys, which are all new Shinies.
