Pokémon Go is running a special event starting Dec. 14 that will bring Pokémon from the newest Pokémon film Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle into the mobile game.
Along with the usual event Special Research, new avatar items, and other bonuses, certain species of Pokémon will be appearing more frequently in the wild, raids, and hatching from Eggs.
Among the new Pokémon in this event are Explorer Pikachu, Shiny Celebi, and Shiny Rufflet. Shiny Celebi will be a reward for players who are able to complete the Special Research story for the movie crossover, while Shiny Rufflet and Explorer Pikachu can be found in Eggs and the wild respectively.
