The 2022 Lunar New Year comes in with a roar!
2022 is the year of the tiger and what better way to celebrate then to highlight a lion… Yeah I know, it’s a not the same, but I don’t make the rules here. If Niantic wants to release Shiny Litleo in this way, I am not going to stop them. For the next week Litleo and other red Pokémon will be spawning more frequently. Let’s take a look and what you can expect.
