Astronaut Pikachu Arrives in Pokémon GO for Limited-Time Event

Pokémon GO players can now catch a special version of Pikachu wearing an astronaut outfit as part of a limited-time event.

The costumed appearance is tied to a collaboration between the European Space Agency (ESA) and The Pokémon Company, bringing a space-themed twist to the game.

Players hoping to add astronaut Pikachu to their collection will need to look out for it during the event. Its availability is temporary rather than a permanent addition.

The announcement does not specify the event’s dates or the exact steps needed to encounter the character. Players should check Pokémon GO’s in-game event information for instructions on how to catch it.
