Couldn't miss a collaboration between the new Pokémon movie and its most successful mobile game. And here it is. From now until next May 17th, we may come across Detective Pikachu in Pokémon GO. An appearance that is loaded with other very interesting extras for those who want to level up in Pokémon GO more quickly. Here we tell you everything.
New Exclusive Pikachu
Niantic already has us used to running into special Pikachu every two by three.What if with the excuse of the arrival of spring, the Christmas Pikachu, the summer one... Now comes Detective Pikachu, whose movie is about to be released in theaters . A new variation that has little or nothing to do with its variocolor version, but which invites us to take a few extra turns with Pokémon GO to expand our collection of exclusives.
This is a model of Pikachu that has a researcher's cap. Something that closely follows the aesthetics of the film, where a Pikachu that talks and drinks coffee helps solve a mysterious case of disappearance. Well, this nice electric rat with a hat now also appears in Pokémon GO between May 7 and 17 Of course, the way he appears in the game is quite peculiar.
The interesting thing is that Detective Pikachu also appears in GO Snapshot. That is, the photography function of Pokémon GO.With this, from Niantic, they want to encourage us to make greater use of this feature, in case the Pokémon GO Snapshot contest that is underway these days does not seem enough incentive to us. Thus, this Pokémon may appear in the photos and we may be able to catch it from now on. Being a novel formula to introduce one of these exclusive Pokémon. Do not stop trying until next May 17 at 10:00 p.m., when the special period of this event will close.
More Pokémon from the movie
But Detective Pikachu isn't the only star of this special event. Many other Pokémon appear in the movie, and they also have their special presence in Pokémon GO during these days. So much so that we will see many more Jigglupuff, Charizard, Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Psyduck roaming the streets. More than normal.
And not only available throughout the actual map to capture, but also in Pokémon raids. So don't be surprised if you see some of these beings directly above the different Pokémon gyms. The game has not returned to the past, it is part of the event and will continue like this for a few days. Take advantage of it to complete your pokédex, if you are missing some of these beings or need candies of these species to boost your team of fighters.
Exclusive field research and extensive experience
But there is still more. Professor Willow is also getting in on the Detective Pikachu craze with a new field investigation. So during these days you will find special missions around Detective Pikachu. Check them out if you want to get extra special items. Of course, as long as you comply with them
As if that were not enough, playing Pokémon GO these days has double the rewards. Specifically the double experience points when capturing any type of Pokémon. A very juicy resource if you take advantage of a lucky egg and want to level up quickly.
We're also not forgetting about the new items available in the in-game store. Elements for our avatar with which to dress them as Detective Pikachu. Of course, they are garments with a cost.
