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.

  1. So since there’s no hope in heaven for people staying on track for long in a Pokémon GO article (R. I. P Pokemon GO) I’ll just make more convo

    Any of you doing anything for your USUM playthrough, or any of your past playthroughs? Like a story, a comic, an art piece, etc?

        • It’s the same story line for the most part. I’m leaving out a lot of stuff (Battle Royal, Zygarde, Trainer School etc) but especially at the beginning it’s pretty close.

          I want to make sure I properly explore the Aether Foundation and Team Skull so Lillie, Guzma and Gladion get more back story

          I’m still kinda figuring things out and planning but hopefully I’ll be able to improve the already pretty good story :0

    • I’m gonna do a story based on my USUM playthrough (which I’ve already prepared a Pokémon and an egg for)

      Basically my MC moves back to Alola from his mother’s home region to partake in the island challenge (in this world, you become a trainer at the age of ~16 although it varies depending on the region), and meets back up with his estranged sister and the rest of his paternal family.

  2. As I’m plotting out the story I’m worried about no being able to fully develop every character properly. Akala Island alone has

    Mallow
    Gladion
    Kiawe
    Lana
    Faba and
    Olivia

    Plus Lillie, Hau and Selene…

  3. Does it sound too Mary Sue if a main character has a shiny? Like besides that the Pokémon has nothing else ‘special’ (it has egg moves but in my comic TMs and Egg Moves can be learned naturally) so is that fine?

  5. Here are the sister admins of team Spring and Autumn

    Team Spring Admin Baba
    Uses Bug types (just like the leader). Speaks in rhyme, moves in a creepy way. Acts like she likes you, but It’s obviously fake. Her Signature is Slavian Mothim (Bug/Electric)

    Team Autumn Admin Jaga
    Uses ghost types (just like the leader). Speaks in rhyme,
    moves in a creepy way. She threatens and curses you with weird spells. Her Signature is a Slavian Roserade (Grass/Ghost)

  6. A little fakemon

    Boares (Boar + Ares)
    Fighting/Normal
    The Boar Pig Pokemon
    They are very popular on farms. If they live in a group they split into two teams and fight. They try to not hurt each other. They will fight for their trainers until they’re too weak to attack.
