The GO Fest in Chicago has started for Pokémon GO. It finally brings Jirachi into the game and quite unexpectedly another Shiny. We provide you with all the information.
What is the GO Fest? This event is currently taking place in Chicago and brings numerous bonuses. The first hours are now over and players are diligently reporting their catches on-site.
What can be confirmed? The first players have now caught Jirachi in a special research. Additionally, players are reporting Shiny Abra and Shiny Seel.
What does the GO Fest in Chicago bring?
What is known about Jirachi: It has long been suspected and now it is confirmed. Jirachi has arrived in Pokémon GO. The mysterious Pokémon can only currently be caught in Chicago through a special research.
It is suspected that all 3 GO Fests will go through this special research and Jirachi will only be available worldwide in another special research after that. However, this has not been confirmed. Currently, Jirachi is only available in Chicago.
These are the Shinys: It was already known in advance that Shiny Seel comes into the game through the GO Fest. This has already been caught on-site and can then be caught more frequently worldwide for the weekend.
Some players are now also reporting Shiny Abra. There are some screenshots of the shimmering version of the Psychic Pokémon. So far, these reports only exist for Chicago. Whether Shiny Abra is therefore available worldwide remains to be seen.
What else is there at the GO Fest? The variety of Pokémon on-site is enormous! There are numerous rare Shinys that can be caught, such as Gastly, Sandshrew, or Krabby.
In addition, there are some letters from Unown to catch. They form the words “WAKE UP!”.
What do we German players have from this? The increased chance for Shiny Seel exists throughout the entire weekend. Shiny Abra will surely be released worldwide in the near future, if it is not already available.
The release of Jirachi shows that this Pokémon will soon also be available worldwide.
Furthermore, the GO Fest in Chicago gives a first good insight into the Dortmund GO Fest. The event there could very well run similarly.
This bonus is available worldwide: Worldwide, there are now also some spawns from the event. Although they are not as extreme as at the GO Fest, there are still some rare Pokémon to discover.
It seems that the chance for Shinys is also increased there. Numerous players are already reporting Shiny Drifloon, Psyduck, Pidgey, or Drifblim.
