Pokemon Go: Pokemon Day 2019 Event Now Live, Features Shiny Pidgey & Rattata

The Pokemon series is celebrating its 23rd anniversary TODAY February 27, and Niantic is commemorating the occasion with a special event in Pokemon Go. The annual Pokemon Day celebration returns at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET on February 26, and it’ll feature a lot of Pokemon from the original Red and Blue versions. [Update: The Pokemon Day 2019 event is now live in Pokemon Go, as is the game’s new Team Medallion item.]

Throughout the event, Pokemon that appear early on in the Gen 1 games will spawn much more frequently in the wild. Moreover, players will have a chance of finding Shiny versions of Pidgey and Rattata, and Kanto Pokemon will also be featured in Raid Battles.

On top of that, players will have a chance of encountering special versions of Pikachu and Eevee during the Pokemon Day event. These variants will be wearing festive flower crowns, and they can be found either in the wild or through special Field Research tasks.

The Pokemon Day event runs until 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET on February 28.
