Pokemon GO fans have a big surprise coming with the game's fourth anniversary. Niantic Labs has decided to feature a Flying Pikachu for the event that will start on Friday, July 3, where Flying Pikachus will spawn in the wild and on raids.
There are male and female Flying Pikachu sprites and two souvenir sprites, the Souvenir Pikachu Visor and the Souvenir Confetti.
When it comes to the Flying Pikachu version, it's exactly like the original card design for the Flying Pikachu on the Pokemon Trading Cards, with a very adorable Pikachu tied to a few balloons.
There's also a Shiny Flying Pikachu, according to the report, but we don't know what difference there is in terms of appearance, so we'll have to wait for further announcements from Niantic.
What More Can We Expect?
Besides the Flying Pikachu, players will also have a chance to capture a Shiny Pidove and Ducklett during the first week of the challenges for the new event, according to a report by GameRant.
The news outlet also noted that the three weeks of themed-challenges from Niantic is sort of a warm-up for the Pokemon GO Fest 2020 happening this July.
As Tech Times previously reported, this year's GO Fest will be much different than the past as people around the world could remotely join from the comfort of their home, as long as they buy a ticket worth $14.99 that gives you access to the two-day celebration.
There are activities that anyone can join, but the biggest ones are for ticket holders only.
Although it is pricey, Niantic Labs has promised to donate all of the proceeds to various BLM organizations and their black developers, so it's definitely going to a good cause.
