Pokémon Go celebrates World Championships with Shiny debut, special Pikachu

Pokémon Go is headed to Hawaii for the World Championships (Aug. 16 to 18), but players across the globe can join in on the celebrations with a cute Shiny debut and an exclusive Pikachu, no matter where they are.

On Aug. 1, Pokémon Go dropped details on event highlights and perks to celebrate Worlds, and there’s plenty to take advantage of. From Friday, Aug. 16 at 10am to Tuesday, Aug. 20 at 8pm local time, the special World Championships 2024 Pikachu will appear with a chance to be Shiny. This costumed Pikachu wears a blue little scuba outfit to tie in with the Hawaiian theme for Worlds. In fact, it’s the same scuba Pikachu featured on the bubbly promo art for the international event. It’ll also be sold there as an adorable plush.
