If you are a fan of Pikachu in iconic costumes, there is good news: Pikachu Pop Star and Pikachu Rock Star are returning to Pokemon Go during the Go Wild Area 2024 event.
Originally debuted in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire in 2014, the “Cosplay” Pikachu Pop Star and Pikachu Rockstar first came to Pokemon Go in 2021. The two special Pokemon were featured in Go Fest 2021 and appeared alongside Mythical Meloetta.
However, for fans who picked up the event ticket for Go Fest 2021, only one of the two Cosplay Pikachu could be selected, leaving players without a way to complete the set.
Luckily for trainers, Pikachu Pop Star and Pikachu Rockstar are finally returning during the Pokemon Go Wild Area event, and there are similar requirements players must complete to catch the missing companion from their melodic duo.
When Will Pikachu Rock Star and Pikachu Pop Star Be Available?
Pokemon Go players can encounter Pikachu Pop Star and Pikachu Rock Star during the Wild Area 2024 Global event that will be happening from Saturday, November 23, to Sunday, November 24, 2024.
