- This event has not started yet. The event has now finished.
Pikachu debuts in an astronaut costume for World Space Week, from 4 to 10 October. It shows up in one-star raids and as a reward from free Timed Research, so it's worth doing a few raids and finishing the research to get one, and it can be shiny.
Event bonuses
- Free Timed Research with an Astronaut Pikachu encounter among its rewards; finish the tasks and claim the rewards by 12 October at 23:59 local time
