Pokemon Go has officially announced the third event of the Season of Mischief, Fashion week! Let’s go over what exactly will be released with the stylish event.
When Niantic first announced the three-month-long Season of Mischief in late August, they teased that there will be eight mini-events happening throughout. So far we have seen the release of Hoopa and Malamar and this time they are giving us the Poodle ‘mon, Furfrou, along with other costumed Pokemon.
With the release of Furfrou and its many forms, the game will also introduce a brand new form change mechanic that will be compatible with other ‘mon in the future!
