Pokemon GO is commemorating the launch of Detective Pikachu Returns by offering a special event. During this event, players can engage in exclusive research tasks and obtain an adorable Pikachu donning a detective hat. Moreover, trainers will have the opportunity to encounter a Pikachu with a detective hat each day by taking snapshots.
To ensure maximum enjoyment during this event, it is advisable for players to stock up on candies and Pokeballs. This event will only be available for a limited time, so players should participate between Thursday, October 5, 2023, at 10 a.m. local time and Monday, October 9, 2023, at 8 p.m. local time in Pokemon GO to increase their chances of capturing all the fantastic Pokemon and obtaining other valuable items.
Is There A Shiny Detective Pikachu In Pokemon GO?
During this event, players will have the opportunity to capture a Pikachu sporting a detective hat, as well as a Slowpoke. Lucky Trainers may come across Shiny versions of these Pokémon, unique to the mobile game. Slowpoke boasts a range of evolutions and variations. Its Shiny variant sports a gentle pink hue accompanied by a brown detective hat, while the Shiny Pikachu dons a brighter shade of yellow, almost resembling gold, paired with the same hat.
Similar to the previous limited-edition Pikachu sporting tiaras on Pokemon GO day, players may be fortunate enough to encounter the shiny Pikachu in a golden hue. The likelihood of encountering a shiny Detective Pikachu is heightened in rainy weather, and using Incense can also improve the odds of finding one.
Players can increase their chances of encountering a Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO by engaging with a Detective Pikachu Pokemon on a daily basis. This can be done by taking snapshots, which are essentially screenshots, after capturing a Pokemon. These snapshots can be shared on social media or sent to friends. By consistently taking snapshots, trainers will receive an additional encounter, thus increasing their odds of finding a Shiny Pokemon.
It's important to note that this limited-time event will not last long, so trainers should make the most of it. To have a chance at obtaining a Shiny Pokemon, players must actively participate in the event from Thursday, October 5, 2023, 10 a.m. local time, until Monday, October 9, 2023, 8 p.m. local time.
Pokemon GO is available on mobile devices.
