A Shockingly Good Time bonuses
- Increased chance of encountering shiny Pikachu, shiny Chinchou and shiny Dedenne.
- Rumor has it that Mimikyu will be appearing on Wednesday 1st April as part of the traditional Pokémon Go April’s Fools event. That Pikachu Spotlight Hour and question mark encounters in Go Pass are definitely looking suspicious…
The A Shocklingly Good Time event is currently running! Don’t forget about the Pressure Rising Special Research quest.
There’s a lot to do in Pokémon Go outside of the current event! From the Go Battle League, Remote Trading, PokéStop Showcase, Routes and Max Battles. Don’t forget to catch rare Pokémon while you’re at it.
