Patterns of the Wild

A one-day event in Indonesia on 2 October that brings Pikachu wearing a batik shirt to Pokémon GO for the first time, with a Special Background and a chance of it being shiny. Look for it in the wild, through Timed Research, with Incense and in surprise encounters when photographing your own Pokémon. Grass and Bug-type Pokémon such as Oddish, Hoppip and Ledyba also appear more often.

Event bonuses

• Higher shiny chance for the event Pokémon in the wild
• Incense lasts 2 hours and attracts Pikachu in a batik shirt and other event Pokémon more often
• Surprise encounters with Pikachu in a batik shirt when taking snapshots of your own Pokémon (not wild ones)
