"Pokémon GO" Reveals Special Japan Plans And Gift Giving Event

Nevermind the Team Rocket stuff happening in Pokémon GO right now, there are two more events on the way for the game in August. First off, Niantic revealed their plans for Pokémon GO Fest 2019 in Yokohama, Japan this week, letting fans on Twitter know that there's a chance they could snag a Shiny Poliwag starting on August 6th at 10am JST. People have already started posting nest locations for the character on social media for people to attempt to get one easier than just roaming around.
