As far as Water-type Pokemon are concerned, Luvdisc is one of the weaker species to exist. It’s a speedy Pokemon, but its base stat total leaves much to be desired. Fortunately, inPokemon GO, Luvdisc’s mediocre stats won’t be an issue thanks toGO’s battle system, and trainers will not want to pass on this little fish Pokemon.
Luvdisc’s heart-shaped body makes it an ideal symbol forPokemon GO’s Valentine’s Day Event. While it may not appear in the wild, it can show up as a reward for completing research tasks. Trainers will want to hurry and complete Valentine-exclusive Field Research before the event comes to a close for 2023.

Where to Find Luvdisc in Pokemon GO
FromFebruary 11th - February 14th, 2023, 8 PMlocal, there’s an in-gameValentine’s Dayevent.Pokemon GOplayers will get extra candy from Transferring or Trading Pokemon. By doing Limited/Timed Research Tasks, they can also receive a bonus that doubles the amount of Candy or EXP from catching a Pokemon.While both the male and female Frillishare obtainable from Limited/Timed Research (and can be caught in the wild), Luvdisc is exclusive toField Research.
Unlike Limited/Timed Research, Field Research Tasks are obtained byspinning PokeStop photodiscs. Alternatively, players can receive a Field Research Task daily at 12 AM local. However, it’s not enough to get a Field Research Task.
Players will want the specific Field Research Task “Send 3 Gifts to Friends and add a Sticker to each.“The reward for completing this Task should be a Random Encounter (identified by the ? icon). Players will knowif the Field Research Task is exclusiveto the event because it will be labeledEventinstead of (for example) bonus. It will also and have anorange outline/backgroundinstead of a Blue (AR Scanning tasks) or Green (bonus tasks).
Fortunately for Shiny Hunters, Luvdisc isnotShiny Locked. If lucky, they may be able to obtain a literal heart of gold Shiny Luvdisc.
Luvdisc’s Moves in Pokemon GO
Luvdisc’s two Fast Attacks areWater GunandSplash. Although a Normal-type Movein the mainlinePokemongames, Splash is a Water-type move inPokemon GO. It’s also not very useful. Water Gun, while not alarmingly powerful, will deal 5 damage, which is much better than Splash’s 0.
Pokemon GOplayers serious about using Luvdisc will want to use a Fast TM on Luvdisc if it has Splash. While Splashdoesgenerate more EPS than Water Gun, its 0 damage output will literally chip away at the opponent’s health, making it the worse contender of the two.
For Charged Attacks, Luvdisc hasWater Pulse,Aqua Jet, andDraining Kiss:
Players can unlock Luvdisc’s second Charge Attack with 50 Luvdisc Candy and 50,000 Stardust.
