Pokemon Go debuts new event in celebration of Pokemon: Horizons release

• The event features a new costumed Pikachu
• Three new Pokémon will make their debut as well
• There will also be 2x XP for hatching and more Team GO Rocket balloons

Pokémon Go will feature a new event celebrating the release of the new Netflix series Pokémon: Horizons. The event, revealed at Pokémon Presents today, will feature not only three new Pokémon – Characadet, Armarouge and Ceruledge – but also Pikachu wearing Cap’s hat. But if that’s not enough there’s also 2x XP for hatching and the appearance of even more Team GO Rocket Balloons to bolster this latest event!

There’s a lot more that we can’t go over in detail, but you can check out the official Pokémon Go site for more information on what Pokémon will be making more frequent appearances, Raids, Field Research and more! One interesting thing is that there’s also going to be the possibility of running into characters from Pokémon Horizons: The Series when taking Snapshots during the event, including both human and Pokémon characters.

The Pokémon Presents event has been a treasure trove of news for mobile. Whether that be updates to Pokémon Sleep and Pokémon Masters EX, or the even bigger news that a mobile version of the original Trading Card Game is arriving soon. It seems like mobile is a major part of what Pokémon is getting up to this year.
