A post to the official Pokémon site has revealed more of what is in store for February 27, Pokémon Day.
We’re getting ready for fun events on February 27, better known around the world as Pokémon Day! It’s the day the first games in the Pokémon video game series, Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green, debuted in Japan in 1996. Recognized by fans around the world, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the world of Pokémon.
But before we can get there, we need input from every Pokémon fan. With the help of Google, we’re holding a Pokémon of the Year competition where you can vote for your favorite Pokémon. The voting period is from Wednesday, February 5, at 6 a.m. PST through Friday, February 14, at 5:59 a.m. PST.
To participate, search for “Pokemon vote” on Google. The voting screen will be displayed in your search results. Select the category you want to vote on from the eight choices. Then select one Pokémon from the list (sorted by National Pokédex number) and click the vote button. When you’re signed in to your Google account, you can cast one vote per category for a maximum of eight votes daily. You can vote only once in each category per day, but you can vote each day during the voting period. Votes will be counted based on the Pokémon’s National Pokédex number, even for Pokémon that have multiple forms, including regional forms.
Pokémon GO is getting a head start on the Pokémon Day excitement. Starting on Tuesday, February 25, keep an eye out in the wild for Pikachu and Eevee donning their party hats, as well as Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle sporting the same festive look and hatching from 7 km Eggs. In celebration of the Pokémon Day launch of the movie Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolutionon Netflix, special Pokémon clones including Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise will start to appear in Raid Battles. Plus, be sure to take a lot of pictures—you might notice that clone Pikachu will want to be in the shot, too. Finally, each day you’ll be able to complete two Special Trades instead of just one. There may be even more special events on the way, too, so check back soon for details. These events will take place every day through Monday, March 2.
Look forward to even more Pokémon Day fun, including the big reveal of a special, newly discovered Pokémon! There will also be news and updates for Pokémon Masters. Some special Max Raid Battles in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will also launch that day. And remember, the full-length movie Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution will arrive on Netflix on Pokémon Day, too.
Be sure to visit Pokemon.com regularly as we’ll have updates as to what you can expect on Pokémon Day.
Who will you vote to be Pokémon of the year? Be sure to participate in this fun collaboration with Google!

“Gigantamax Toxtricity with Amped Form being available in Sword and Low Key Form being available in Shield. This is the only way to get Gigantamax Toxtricity in the game. It also features Gigantamax Kingler & Gigantamax Grimmsnarl in Pokémon Sword and Gigantamax Orbeetle & Gigantamax Hatterene in Pokémon Shield.”
I am glad I am on sword then, Toxtricity with Shift Gear is just better.

Got this in a a random raid! Didn’t even realize it was shiny until I caught it! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/36902cf78162c1549b2947ecb0551933f0842fe6f9c25917dfbcdd66719d7b5b.jpg

Got a shiny gmax amped toxtricity omg this makes up for the lost shiny gmax Corviknight yesterday!!
When is home coming out? Pokemon day?
I haven’t played Sword and Shield in ages, I feel ashamed…
Kinda disappointing lore wise that gmax Toxitricity doesnt unlock some sort of event thing with the geolith of it on the mountainside
At this point you should expect they won’t do anything good like that anymore.
Favorite of each type Today.
Favorite of all time will always be Scizor.

Attention
underlingscherished compatriotsI am in a extremely dire need of a Thick Fat Swinub to finish my Galar Ground Mono team in order to mop the clock of one of my associates
I got lucky with my Yamask and it only took 10 eggs so all I need is a Thick Fat Mamoswine but my stupid brain demands it be in a Premier Ball or Timer Ball because I’m officially one of those guys who needs their teams in unique PokéBalls
So if anyone has one I’m more than willing to give something of good or equal value I have a lot of perfect and near perfect level Ball Silicobra and a Duraludon or literally anything I can give, but I’m gonna be gone in the afternoon so no rush…. but I need it by tomorrow
Can you not find the den and look for it?
Favorite by type of each gen:

Hardest ones to pick were Gen 4 and Gen 6.
Sometimes I had to settle for one for a type because I really didn’t “like it like it” but in some cases I just blanked out the mon, because I can’t even settle for them (Kingdra and Crabominable)
6IV Gmax Modest Orbeetle is mine 😀

favorites per gen! most of these were pretty easy picks, there wasn’t a whole lot of settling or hemming and hawing
until the very end. the hardest part was negotiating and puzzling out what type to count certain pokemon as in order to fit as many favorites as possible, and even at that i’m still not positive it’s as good as it can be!Kanto

least favorites to come
ehhhh, i did a least favorite for each gen but it felt disingenuous. should’ve listened to monkey and just done one for the series overall. awh well, here we are then
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/10834b8e685a1a1c51ec81deddeba5f168fd1fbe14eaf98521eec45495f70b4c.jpg
Huge disagree on Aquaranid but it’s your opinion so no big deal.
Araq over Wormadam…
I get Dracozolt but I prefer it to vish and I really like the front part.
Really similar tastes except araq
I have no idea how someone could hate Slurpuff like… just look at that thing. She just wants a hug
Well just finished playing Tomba again. Can finish it so much quicker now since I pretty much know where everything is. Still this game means so much to me. Was one of the first games I ever played and is the game that got me so into gaming. It’s a shame the company went out of business. Would have loved to get more games from the series besides just the first two. Either way the first game will always have a special place in my heart. https://youtu.be/zwHZoXRmKuo
WHY DONT YOU HAVE BLUBBER
I’ve wasted at least 25 wishing pieces on my attempt for a Thick Fat Piloswine and all of them aren’t HA
So freakin dumb
Are you doing the Den Time skip?
Unrelated but I’m going to draw your character again. I like it but it’s missing that something
40+ Wishing Pieces gone FOR NOTHING
Toxtricity is the best Pokémon there is. That it all
Golurk
A sneak peak of something I am working on. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/56e214f40ca75b72bf89380415e28094f39cbae363bc1bb34ef7118a068eb79b.png

looks like another character’s out of the running ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Good.
I’ve said this would be the reason since he was first brought up.
Meh no biggie really
Well I dun bought ACNH
Now I wait until I can terraform a peaceful untarnished tropical paradise, strip it of all natural resources and turn it into a cold unforgiving place of profit and capitalism where nobody has rights or bathroom privileges
It’s gonna be fun on a bun :3
