Special Pokemon will only be available to encounter in certain areas in Pokemon Go.
To celebrate The Pokemon Company’s new “Pokemon Air Adventures” initiative, Pokemon Go will be updated with two special pocket monsters that will only be available to encounter in certain areas around the world.
To start, Pikachu wearing a “Okinawan kariyushi shirt” will begin appearing in Okinawa, Japan on July 22. In a news post, Niantic, the developer of Pokemon Go, said this Pikachu will appear “for over a year,” giving locals and travelers quite some time to capture this Pokemon whenever they’re in the area.
Niantic said it has plans to release additional costumed Pokemon in specific areas in the future.
Next, Shiny Corsola will also be added to Pokemon Go on July 22. In Pokemon Go, Corsola is a regional Pokemon that only appears in coastal regions. According to Leek Duck, Corsola can be found “between 26° and 36° latitude near the sea.” Shiny Corsola will be a permanent addition to Pokemon Go, so players won’t need to rush to find one.
