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 what do peeps think we’ll get from Worlds this year? Alolan form? The USUM mascots? I hope it’s an Alolan form. Something different to give us a little hype lol

  4. Not really a realistic Theory:
    An AR headset for the switch
    Pokemon Go with a plot:
    All pokemon
    Each country treated as a region, starters from the pokemon region closest to the country in rl
    An elite 4 in each country with the top 4 players of mobile game as them
    Each next gym is 1 km farer from the place you started the game in
    More realistic graphics

  5. Basically it’s a mon that takes the souls of those who have gambled themselves to death and holds them within a die (get it? They die and it uses a die to store souls) that it uses to power its abilities

      • If Mismagius should be fairy then Delphox should be as well no? It still wouldn’t fix its 3d model which was the biggest robbery in the franchise

      • Proof for nerds:

        Banshees were originally portrayed as fairies before becoming more Ghost like. Fairy would really bring forth the banshee concept better.

        Mismagius is also based on witches, which are magical and and fairies are magical and shit

      • Maybe, though I’m not sure because even though there’s basically going to be a third legend based around an Egyptian God/Goddess, I want to have a balance of other African myths and Gods too outside of Egyptian mythology.

  9. Because auto correct decided to dick me, I’m just reposting this
    Preview for a mon
    Dex ENTRY

    “This Pokémon waltzes through a battle, switching between two masks that change its appearance and abilities. Rumor say that it is the soul of a an actor who died onstage. It regrets not showing it’s true self while it was alive and it is said that this regret is what keeps its soul on Earth for eternity.

  10. I’m sure that there will be a R&M episode about how Poopy McButthole’s (and Noob Noob’s) race has secretally sneaked into Our lives and is preparing an invasion

  12. If we don’t get a R&M episode Where Rick and morty are stuck in the SU dimension (with Crystal Gems cursing) I want some group of mortys do a cover of Steven and the Stevens in some episode

  13. In various areas of the Incrum region, unexplainable events have begun to occur. Ranging from smaller occurrences such as square snowflakes to larger events such as the appearance of star fragments across the region. Studies of these events all show that they their origins are not of this dimension. Despite similar sharing similarities to the events that occurred in Alola, the circumstances are entire different. This lead to one conclusion: new Ultra Beasts have begun to surface.
