Pokémon Go’s 7th Anniversary Party will see the return of Shiny Mew
The first seven generations of starter Pokemon will also appear during the event
Niantic has detailed the Pokemon Go 7th anniversary event that will begin later this week, which will include the return of Shiny Mew.
For $5 / £5 players will be able to purchase the Masterwork Research, which will let players catch Shiny Mew, one of the only opportunities to capture the elusive mythical Pokemon in the history of the franchise.
New Pokemon set to be added to the game include a Wartortle and a Blastoise wearing a party hat, the latter of which can appear in its shiny form. You’ll also be able to evolve party hat Squirtle during this event.
The party hat Squirtle, cake hat Pikachu, Meowth, Ponyta, Togedemaru, Galarian Ponyta and Absol will all appear in the wild during the event, with each of them (other than Togedemaru) also having the chance to appear in their shiny form.
Each day of the event will also see certain Pokemon spawn more frequently.
