New activity in Pokémon Go Celebrating launch next week Pokemon Horizon: The Series in various countries and regions.
The event will also debut a new Pokémon in the game: Charcadet from Generation 9.

Pokémon Horizons: Series Celebration
To evolve Charcadet into these forms, you need to turn the Pokemon into your friend and battle other Pokemon. To evolve Charcadet into Amarouge, you need to defeat 30 Psychic-type Pokémon, while Cerulledge evolution requires you to defeat 30 Ghost-type Pokémon.
You can catch Charcadet in the wild, or by hatching from eggs at 2km, 5km, and 10km. After the event, the Pokémon will stay in the 10km egg.
During the event, you can catch Pikachu wearing a hat, and the Pokémon will know the move “Volt Attack.” Pokemon and human characters from the Pokemon Horizons series will also appear in the snap.
Event rewards include 2x XP for hatching Pokemon, PokeStop showcases will reopen, and Team Go Rocket balloons will appear more frequently.
If you want to hatch a bunch of eggs, the expensive incubator can hatch not only Charcadet, but also Pokémon from 2km, 5km, and 10km eggs that are commonly used this season.
In the wild, you can expect the following Pokémon to appear more frequently: Fuecoco, Nosepass*, Pawmi, Quaxly, Scyther*, and Sprigatito. You may also encounter Alola Grimmer*, Beldum*, and Pikachu* wearing a captain’s hat. Pokémon with stars can also appear shiny.

Finally, event-themed field research mission encounters include Fuecoco, Golduck, Pikachu* wearing Cap’s hat*, Quaxly, Rockruff*, Skarmory*, and Sprigatito.
