Pokemon Go News

Pokemon Go has had a major last few months, with gyms being overhauled, raids being introduced, and even their first Pokemon Go Fest, though the latter did not go too well. Niantic is looking to keep the momentum going with additional events that are known as Safari Zone events and now we have more details about them. For now, the Pokemon Go Safari Zone events are exclusive to Europe and will kick off on September 16 at Unibail-Rodamco Shopping Centres located at CentrO in Oberhausen, Germany, Les Quatre Temps in Paris, France and La Maquinista in Barcelona, Spain. Each event will provide players with a special in-game medal for attending, as well as special 2 km eggs that are found at the PokeStops at these specific shopping centers. These PokeStops will also have lures on them all day long, allowing players to catch not only normally rare Pokemon like Larvitar and Chansey, but also the usually Australian and New Zealand exclusive Kangaskhan.

The legendary Mewtwo first arrived in Pokémon Go this morning at the game's special Yokohama, Japan event. Now, we know how Mewtwo will be released everywhere else in the world - and it's a huge change from normal. Mewtwo will be the first Pokémon available from new invite-only Exclusive Raid Battles, which will require players to have recently defeated a raid boss at the Exclusive Raid location to take part. So, say you complete several raids over the course of a week across your area at various gyms. The following week you may then get an Exclusive Raid invitation for Mewtwo at one of those locations. Invites will "include advance warning of when the Exclusive Raid will take place", developer Niantic has said. It's not clear how long this will be - or how soon beforehand you will need to have defeated a raid boss to be included. There's no word of what other Pokémon might feature in Exclusive Raids. The other legendary featured in the game's...

Kangaskhan, an armoured kangaroo-like marsupial, is usually only available in Australia and New Zealand. But for the next few weeks, until 21st August, you'll also be able to find them in London, Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow and Manchester - plus various other cities in mainland Europe. The full list is below. Cities will begin spawning the creature imminently, developer Niantic said in a new blog , along with increased instances of seeing the various forms of alphabetical Pokémon Unown. If you don't have an Unown yet - and they are near mythically-difficult to find without a bit of help - now's your chance. If you want a Kangaskhan without a 20-hour flight, again, now is your chance. The full list of cities included in the event lies below. Niantic also has a bigger set of events planned for a half dozen or so mainland European capitals - although some were recently delayed following the technical difficulties at Chicago's Pokémon Go Fest.
