Running from Feb. 14 to 18, players will be able to encounter the Psychic-type Munna and evolve it into Musharna using a Unova Stone. If you can evolve a Kirlia into a Gardevoir or Gallade during the event, it will learn Synchronoise.

You can also hatch Eevee, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Togepi, Luvdisc, Munna, Woobat, and Cottonee from five-kilometer eggs during the event, too.
