A pair of Tandemaus-themed avatar items have also been added to the in-game shop. The Tandemaus hoodie and slippers will remain available for purchase after the event has ended.

Pokemon GOhas been gradually adding new Pokemon to find and collect from thePokemon Scarlet and VioletPaldea region. In a prior interview, the game’s director talked aboutPokemon GO’s lack of new wild spawns. New additions are gradual, as the company doesn’t want to run out of Pokemon to add before a new main-series game releases from Game Freak and Nintendo. However, with this slowing new additions down considerably, many players will likely be happy to add a new creature to their Pokedex.
