Pokémon GO Fest in Yokohama, Japan takes place From August 6th to the 12th, and those in the region won’t be the only Trainers celebrating the occasion. Niantic is bringing back all the Pikachu hat variants to GO during the fest — and they’ll be available globally, meaning you’ll be seeing a lot more of the Electric-type on your maps wherever you live!
Surprise, Trainers! We’ve invited some familiar guests to Yokohama for our last Pokémon GO Fest this year! From August 6 at 10 a.m. JST to August 12 at 5 p.m. JST, Pikachu will be appearing globally, wearing a different hat each day! pic.twitter.com/GCyeht226h

The Pikachu variants include the following:
- Santa Hat Pikachu

Even if you’ve already added any or all of these to your Pokédex, you now have the opportunity to try to catch their Shiny versions. With a different Hat Pikachu set to make an appearance each day, you’ll want to make sure to set aside time every day throughout the event!
Good luck, Trainers!
