Pikachu Outbreak-Chu Event: Mewtwo in GO, Snapchat Filter & More!

To tie in with the Pikachu Outbreak-chu event in Yokohama, Mewtwo has officially been released via Legendary Raid in Pokémon GO as an exclusive to the Pokémon GO Stadium event in Yokohama, Japan!

Mewtwo in Pokemon GO

Shortly after Mewtwo’s first appearance in the stadium, Niantic released an official statement that it would be coming to players worldwide via a new mechanic called Exclusive Raid Battles. These work exactly like regular raid battles with the only difference being to participate in them you have to be invited to them. To receive an invitation trainers must have successfully defeated a raid boss recently at the Gym where the Exclusive Raid Battle will be taking place – meaning that it’s completely by chance and there’s no way (that we know of yet) to predict which Gyms will spawn an Exclusive Raid Battle later. The invitations will include advance warning of when the Exclusive Raid will take place, giving trainers ample time to coordinate with other Trainers before taking on the powerful Raid Boss.

It was also confirmed in the statement that Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Lugia will be returning to Legendary Raid from today until August 31st!

Pikachu Snapchat Filter

Along with Mewtwo, a special Pikachu snapchat filter will be available for the next 3 days! The filter gives you a pair of signature Pikachu ears, nose and red cheeks (and luckily enough also air brushed my skin and shaved off a good 10 pounds from my face) – if you open your mouth it activates Pikachu to charge in from the left side of the screen to give you an electric kiss, allowing your face to give off bolts of electricty before Pikachu returns to the bottom left of the screen. There is no additional use of the filter on the back facing camera.

Check it out below:

Ditto & Mimikyu Distribution

Last but not least, in addition to the announced distribution of Pikachu at the Pikachu Outbreak-chu Carnival Parade in Yokohama, two other Pokémon are having a special distribution: Mimikyu and Ditto! Mimikyu is Level 10 with the moves Astonish, Copycat, Baby-Doll Eyes, and Splash, while the Ditto is holding a Light Ball.

    Pokedex Entry: This Pokemon is entirely man-made and its existence is considered extremely controversial. It was given a butterfly like appearance to hide its true colors and can use this apperance to get in close to targets and deceive them through various different methods. It is said that even the strongest and undistracted minds can be taken over by this Pokemon in just a few seconds. Despite its possession of this deadly power, it is weak in literally every other way.

    Priming Wave: Upon entering the field for the first time, the user is able to mark any Pokemon that has been sent out at some point by the foe. The marked Pokemon will be forced to attack another revealed enemy Pokemon (or any Pokemon if teams were shown before the battle) with a move of your choosing. This ability can be activated regardless of the user’s state.

    This is the “signature” fakemon of team vaccine. This boi gets spammed by the grunts and YES I get how overpowered it’s ability is.

    Pokedex Entry: This Pokémon searches for a garden of its choosing and resides within it. As it flies about it scatters special pollen that is said to make plants immortal. This ability along with its look have earned it the name “Garden Angel.”

    It’s body becomes a whitish-gold color and its scarf now extends behind its head and splits into seven extra ribbons that are the color of the rainbow that flow behind it in a star like shape. Additionally it gains a halo and it’s wings become angel like

  8. Is there a good way to SOS hunt Sandygast and Comfey? They both have healing moves and both have moves that do additional damage each turn (i.e. Sand tomb and wrap) They’re both kind of annoying to go after with my Smeargle that has Recover, Recycle, False Swipe, and Drill Peck
