Pokémon Go is holding a special event to celebrate the return of Detective Pikachu Returns, the highly anticipated game set to release on Oct. 6. As part of this event, players have the opportunity to encounter a unique form of Pikachu wearing a detective hat. Unlike previous events, this Pikachu comes with its own encounter animation, making it even more special. The event started on Oct. 5 and will continue until Oct. 9, giving players a limited time to catch this adorable and inquisitive Pikachu.
During the event, Pikachu with a detective hat will be spawning more frequently, giving players a better chance of encountering one. In addition to the Pikachu, players may also come across a Slowpoke wearing a hat, although it won’t be a detective hat. For those lucky enough, there is even a possibility of encountering a shiny Pikachu with a detective hat. To add to the excitement, players can evolve this special Pikachu into a Raichu that also wears a detective hat.
It’s important to note that this new Pikachu with a detective hat is different from the one featured in a previous event back in 2019. While the 2019 Pikachu with a detective hat is still rare, it does not have the same animated encounter as the current version. So, even if you already have the 2019 Pikachu, it’s worth trying to catch the new one for its unique animation.
The ongoing Detective Pikachu Returns event not only brings the opportunity to catch these special Pokémon but also offers additional benefits. Players can earn extra Stardust and XP during the event, making it a great time to level up their Pokémon and strengthen their teams.
So, grab your magnifying glass and get ready to embark on a Pokémon Go adventure with Detective Pikachu. Don’t miss out on this limited-time event and the chance to catch these adorable and animated Pokémon.
