A Shockingly Good Time

Mimikyu makes its Pokémon GO debut in this Electric-type event from 31 March to 6 April, in the wild and from Field Research. It can't be used in battle yet; a later game update will add that. Each day brings a different Electric-type Spotlight Hour, and a GO Pass offers Raichu among its encounters.
