Hisuian Growlithe Shines In Pokémon GO For Out To Play Event

Pokémon GO will introduce Shiny Hisuian Growlithe in Pokémon GO for the new Out To Play event which focuses on Eggs and Routes.


It's time for Hisuian Growlithe to shine. Pokémon GO has announced a new event titled Out To Play that will introduce the Shiny version of this new regional variant species. This makes Hisuian Growlithe one of the first species from this region introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, an open-world RPG that takes the player back to ancient Sinnoh, to get its Shiny variant released in Pokémon GO. Let's get into the details of this event, which also focuses on hatching Eggs, walking Routes, and more activities that will encourage Trainers to explore the real world while catching and grinding for XP.
