A new shiny Pokemon is coming, but only for a limited time.
We are only a few day away from the release of New Pokémon Snap on the Nintendo Switch. This highly anticipated, and heavily requested, sequel lets players explore the Lental region while taking photos of Pokémon in their natural habitats. To celebrate this new game, a new event will be happening in Pokémon GO. You will find Pokémon inspired by different habitats in the Lental region in the wild, raids and even in event research. Oh and did we mention a new limited time Shiny Pokémon? You don’t want to miss this!
