How to catch Togepi, Pichu & more in Pokémon GO!

There are some brand new Pokémon now in the mobile hit Pokémon GO (iOS/Android) for trainers to obtain, as well as a special holiday version of Pikachu starting today.

Pichu and Togepi, both introduced in Pokémon Gold & Silver, can now be hatched from eggs within the game. There are more secrets to discover though, as it seems Cleffa, Igglybuff, Tyrogue (is its evolution Hitmontop available?!), Elekid and Magby can also be hatched from eggs!

Holiday Pikachu can also be evolved into an equally festive Raichu too, so don’t stop training!

  1. Guys I just got my first ever shiny (disregarding a belsprout in Pokemon X that I accidentally knocked out)!
    It’s a sandile from one of the moving sand ambush encounters at Haina desert!!!!

  2. So I’m trying to come up with a better name for my Poison/Psychic Gecko
    The concept is that it itself is a tiny frail lizard Pokemon that defends itself by spraying a mist that causes intense hallucinations (An obvious relation to hallucinating salamanders)
    It was originally called Psycko as in psychedelic and gecko but it clearly sounds like psycho

    But the more I think about it I feel this concept is a tad controversial

    • Ew EOC’s. Luckily I dodged having to take most of them. They started giving them for a lot more classes in the year below me 😛

        Thick Shell Pkm
        Filter/Battle Armor HA: Mold Breaker
        A massive pale pachydermic Pokemon with pale lime green and grey skin, adorned with layers of powerful round shells of a green and blue coloration that gleam like metal, a long split horn with a mammalian face with short antenna, it has a mix of both elephantine feet with little barbs on the ankles

        These powerful Pokemon are actually very gentle and docile making them safe and reliable helpers, their mighty horns could mow down an entire forest in a single charge.

  4. Just cause

    Regional Pokedex Number #106
    Lemuse (A combination of Lemur and Bemuse)
    Type: Fairy/Fighting
    Ability: Discombobulate (Hidden Ability: Prankster
    Stat spread
    HP: 70
    Attack: 110
    Defense: 60
    Special Attack: 90
    Special Defense: 70
    Speed: 130

    Pokedex Entry: A Pokemon with very little reliable information on it. It is said to appear in front of people and pokemon moments before they drift out of consciousness in which it puts them in a hypnotic trance. The hypnotized beings tend to awaken entirely confused by any actions that have occurred under these trances and no physical proof of Lemuse’s presence is recorded around these events.

  5. I got an idea for a pseudo legendary:
    (Name I don’t really known about, maybe some suggestions?)
    The Protector Pokemon
    Type: Ice/Fire
    The result of combining elements of cold and hot, this Pokemon was used in ancient wars to defend villages and towns from assaults.

    It’s design would be based on a mecha, specifically a Gundam. It would have wings on the back of its body that have large ice crystals as wings. The rest of its body would be ice for the most part, but also with lava/fire flowing through its body.

  7. Another Pokemon I have stored in, one of my personal favorites. Its entire concept was that it was a dragon that had its soul ripped from its body when it was a child and the soul became a pokemon. When it evolved, it tried to re-make its body but instead ended up becoming an unfinished mess (like Kyurem almost). Finally at the end, it ends up reunited with the body, and stronger than it would have been otherwise.

    Pokedex Number: 235

    Daemowyrm
    Classification: Spirit Serpent Pokemon
    Type: Ghost/Dragon
    Ability: Reality Rift
    Stats:
    HP: 90
    Attack: 50
    Defense: 80
    Special Attack: 150
    Special Defense: 100
    Speed: 130

    Pokedex Entry: After finally reuniting with its body, the spirit of this pokemon was so strong that it absorbed its old body and created a new form, making a perfect harmony forming a spirit like but still tangible form. It is said to only respect people who are willing to overcome their own flaws to become something better, just like it has.

      • I haven’t finalized it but…
        Basically it has shape very much resembling a serpenty wyrm dragon. It’s a dark purple dragon that is rather long of course and has a very wisp like body. It’s very hard to describe and I’m still thinking on it tbh

        Reply
        • Need to make sure it isn’t too similar to Giratina-O/ Pre-evo. Perhaps consider a lighter blue instead like Litwicks’ flame.
          Is it a legend? Its’ stats are like it would be.

          Reply
          • It’s actually a pseudo. It’s a fair bit more slender than Giratina and he purple is sort of around Gengar levels.

    • I totally approve of this as a new Ghost/Dragon and as a pseudo legend! The dex entry really fits it and makes it an interesting turn on a Ghost type. And the evolution line is perfect.
      10/10 would be a great Pokemon idea

  9. Not a Fakemon, but in my fan idea, you fight ‘Arena Lords’, where you fight them in battle formats that fit their personality and type. The Unovans took this idea, having originally came from the region south of mine.

    My region used to share Arena Lords with the entirety of the region it is part of (just like Scotland as a country is part of its own country, and how it got its own government), but now has its own set of 10.

    Pokedex Entry: A pokemon known for its ability to run over any terrain with limitless speed. This makes it a very popular pokemon with pokemon rangers. While docile in most cases, this Pokemon is remarkably brutal in its fighting tactics, occasionally kicking sand in the foe’s eyes before unveiling and endless barrage of pecks and kicks.
