What
Halloween Pikachu
Another costumed Pikachu is coming, this one with a cute little witch hat! Make sure to catch this limited time Pikachu during the event.
Mimikyu Hat
Trainers will be able to celebrate Halloween with the all new Mimikyu hat! This is a very interesting add as Mimikyu is a Gen VII/7 Pokémon.
