Pokemon GO players are still fresh out from the launch of the Generation 2 Pokemon. Trainers are still busy being on the lookout and catching them all. However, looks like the challenge of catching them is going to be one small step difficult with the addition of new Pokemon for an upcoming event.

Pokemon GO Update: Special Pikachu

Pokemon GO is about to celebrate the anniversary of Pokemon Red and Green. The launch date of the first Pokemon game has always been a holiday for the series, dubbed as "Pokemon Day." Siliconera shares that on February 27. 2017, Pokemon GO will join the festivities by launching A special Pikachu.

From February 26 to March 9, 2017, trainers will get a chance to catch a special Pikachu in the wild. Each Pikachu the trainers will encounter will be wearing party hats. Party Hat Pikachu will be wearing hats in celebration of" Pokemon Day."

The Pikachu you will catch will be wearing the hat forever, so it will definitely be a good addition to players' Pokedex.
