To celebrate Pokemon Go’s one-year anniversary, Niantic and The Pokemon Company are releasing Pikachu into the wild and they will be wearing an interesting hat.
No, it’s not a fedora, pork pie or something insane you’d see people wearing at the races. It’s Ash’s famous hat from the Pokemon animated series.
This is apparently the rare Pikachu which was outed last week. It doesn’t appear to the Shiny version folks were expecting, unfortunately.
Players will be able to catch the special Pikachu from now through July 13.
Along with the hat-wearing Pikachu, Niantic has added an Anniversary Box to the in-game shop. It contains incubators, Max Revives, Ultra Balls and a Raid Pass.
These will be available for a limited time at a discounted price.
Meanwhile, if you’re still enjoying Pokemon Go’s new raid content or just getting started, Alex provides some helpful tips and tricks through the lovely link.
In case you forgot, the adorable critter will also don one of Ash’s hats soon to celebrate the theatrical release of Pokemon the Movie 20: I Choose You in Japan.
Pokemon Sun and Moon players in the region will be handed a code to download Pikachu wearing one of the hats when pre-purchasing a ticket to the film. The code includes a Pikashumium Z-Crystal which unlocks a new Z-move for the Pokemon.
Marshadow and Ho-Oh will also be distributed to celebrate the film’s release, and while The Pokemon Company hasn’t detailed when or how it will distribute Marshadow in the west, we do do know it’s happening at some point.
The film is slated to premiere at Japan Expo in France on July 6 and will release in Japan on July 15.
There’s still no word on whether the film will arrive in theaters outside the region or if western players will also be handed a Pikachu code for the 3DS title.
