Pokemon Go is getting a Detective Pikachu event, where an adorable Pikachu wearing a detective hat will make their debut in the mobile game. Before the event rolls out, find out how you can encounter Detective Pikachu ahead of time and whether or not a Shiny version will be available.
The event is taking place as a celebration of the release of Detective Pikachu Returns on Nintendo Switch. As always, there are special bonuses, including 2x XP for spinning PokeStops. However, what Trainers want the most is an encounter with the brand new Pikachu.
