Pokemon Go: Here are all the new Pokemon you can find starting today

Niantic has finally given players of its Pokemon Go augmented-reality game some new Pokemon to find.

Starting 12 December at 10 am PST, you can add “Togepi, Pichu, and select Pokemon originally discovered in the Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver video games” to your Pokedex. You can find them by visiting and spinning PokeStops and acquiring Eggs, which might hatch into the new Pokemon. But if you’re really lucky, you’ll encounter a special edition Pikachu, according to Niantic.

That Pikachu will be available to trainers all over the world until 29 December at 11 am PST. It’ll be wearing a “festive hat” to celebrate the holidays. It’ll appear in large quantities, too. Niantic said hundreds of millions of people have filled their Pokedexes with over 100 Pokemon, and now they have the chance to catch other creatures pulled from the second-generation Pokemon Gold and Silver.

Niantic wouldn’t reveal any numbers in its announcement. It only confirmed the two, new generation monsters, as well as the special edition version of Pikachu. This news follows several other announcements intended to lure players back. Last week, it said Sprint, RadioShack, and Starbucks stores were turning into gyms and Pokestops. It also developed limited-time, in-game events.

During Halloweem, Pokemon Go launched its first in-game event that offered special rewards, such as the ability to find more of what Niantic dubbed the “spookiest Pokemon” (like Gastly, Gengar, Haunter, Drowzee, and Zubat).
