Pokémon Go Fest just kicked off in Chicago’s Grant Park, and trainers are currently working through way through a nine-mission quest that concludes with an encounter with Jirachi. This year’s Pokémon Go Fest runs from Thursday to Sunday, but a player can only participate for one day. This means if you play today, you can’t go back to the park to catch the event-specific Pokémon on Saturday.
The course that trainers will be exploring is much larger than last year, yet is once again themed with regions filled with Pokémon you’d find in those habitats. Trainers are reporting that shiny Abra is spawning at the park, and shiny Horsea is also out in full force. A special flower crown Pikachu is there, and the Unown on hand reportedly spell out WAKE UP. The only regional Pokémon spawning is supposedly Pachirisu.
I’ll be on hand at the Fest throughout the weekend and will update you on the quest and other Pokémon I encounter. Happy catching, everyone!
