Grab CAPTAIN PIKACHU in Pokemon Go now

Pokemon Go fans are in for an exciting event with the addition of Captain Pikachu, in celebration of the upcoming release of Pokemon Horizons. Players have a limited-time opportunity to catch both the regular and the more prized shiny version of Captain Pikachu. The chances of catching a shiny are typically slim, but special Raid Events offer a much higher likelihood, with a shiny rate of 1 in 10. The Captain Pikachu will appear more frequently in the wild during the event and is best hunted in 1-star raids. Furthermore, a free code is available for a bonus encounter with Captain Pikachu, valid until March 13. This event caters to shiny hunters and is a testament to the enduring appeal of Pokemon's shiny variants since their introduction in Gold and Silver versions.

The specific code for the bonus encounter with Captain Pikachu in Pokemon Go has not been provided in the summary. To obtain such a code, players would typically need to follow official Pokemon Go communications such as their social media channels, newsletters, or in-game announcements.
