A select few players encountered shiny Pokemon in the wild during the event. While these special creatures don’t look any different than your average Pokemon in the overworld, you will see brief shimmers when you encounter the Pokemon, signaling a shiny Pokemon. To catch it, you simply tap on it and capture it like you would any other Pokemon before it disappears from the map.
Pokemon: Let’s Go Pikachu/Eeevee is a lighter take on Pokemon. Players can team up in 2-person co-op to explore, catch Pokemon, and battle trainers. The game also pairs with Pokemon GOLet’s Go uses the same Combat Power leveling system, and you’ll be able to transfer Pokemon and items from Pokemon GO to Let’s GO.

Let’s Go, Pikachu/Eevee! Launches on November 16 on Nintendo Switch.
