All weekend, Pokémon GO will be featuring a throwback to the Kanto region, home to the original 151 Pokémon from the Red & Green games. Legendary Pokémon Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos and Mewtwo will be appearing more frequently in raids between 2/26 and 2/28. Participants in these raids will have a chance of catching Shiny versions of any of these Pokémon. Other ongoing Pokémon GO events include bonus Kanto-themed research and more frequent appearances by Kanto ‘mons in the wild, including the possibility to find shiny versions of some of these Pokémon!
Finally, in Pokémon Masters EX, Galar region champion Leon will finally be joining the battle. Leon will be accompanied, of course, by his signature Pokémon, a Charizard capable of using the Gigantamax ability. Adding Leon to your team will be a tricky endeavor, but this battle-happy Champion will make a powerful ally indeed!
