Pokémon GO BDSP Celebration Event Part Two Begins Tomorrow

The current Pokémon GO event will feature a bit of a switch-up tomorrow. This Sinnoh-focused event celebrates the release of the new Nintendo Switch games, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, with the current half focusing on Brilliant Diamond with the next bit switching to Shining Pearl. While these are minor changes, you will be able to hunt the Sinnoh starters with different costumes once it goes live. Let's take a look at what this event has to offer so you can prepare a strategy for your gameplay.

Here is a full breakdown of what's going on in Pokémon GO for the Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Celebration Part Two:

  • Chimchar wearing Dawn's hat
  • Piplup wearing Dawn's hat

Here's what Niantic had to say about the event over at the official Pokémon GO blog:

Experience the Sinnoh region in an adventure reborn with Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl! In celebration of the release of these games on Nintendo Switch, Pokémon originally discovered in the Sinnoh region will be appearing more often in Pokémon GO. Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup wearing special Sinnoh-inspired hats will be appearing in the wild, and avatar items inspired by those same first partner Pokémon will be available in the shop.
