PokéNews (March 30th): Pokémon GO / Pokémon Sun and Moon

Today’s Pokémon news: Shiny Magikarp to stay in Pokémon GO a little bit longer, but also…

  • Battle Competition (Japan)
  • Pokkén Tournament (Arcade)

Pokémon GO

The Water Festival is now over, which means that water Pokémon no longer spawn more frequently in the world. But the good news is, Shiny Magikarp can still be found in the wild, despite the event ending. It’s not clear how long they will remain in the game, or if they have been added permanently to the game. Naturally, those you did manage to catch will not disappear, whatever happens.

In other words, if you’re yet to find and catch a Shiny Magikarp, don’t give up just yet!
