Pokémon Red and Green. With only a couple of weeks until the event kicks off, Pokémon GO has outlined what each version entails allowing players to make more informed decisions.
The Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto event was originally announced in December boasting a massive event that will feature all 150 Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region. Not only would ticketed event attendees be able to encounter all of these Pokémon, but for the first time, all 150 Kanto Pokémon will have their Shiny forms available in Pokémon GO. Previously Shiny locked Pokémon, such as Snorlax, Ditto, and more, will have their Shiny forms added to the game, and they will remain unlocked after the event ends.
Players have until the end of the event to purchase a Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto ticket, and those who do will be prompted to choose between the Red and Green versions of the event. Those who choose the Red version will attract these exclusive Pokémon using Incense: Ekans, Oddish, Mankey, Growlithe, Scyther, and Electabuzz. The Green version will attract Sandshrew, Vulpix, Meowth, Bellsprout, Magmar, and Pinsir. Both versions will also receive increased Shiny odds for Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Pidgey, Pikachu, Nidoran, Diglett, Ponyta, Shellder, Drowzee, Krabby, Hitmonlee, Lickitung, Eevee, Kabuto, and Dratini. Additionally, each version will have increased Shiny odds for the Incense-exclusive Pokémon.
Despite each version having Incense-exclusive Pokémon, both versions will be able to encounter all 150 Kanto Pokémon during the event. The biggest decision players will have to make when choosing between versions is which Pokémon they want a higher chance of finding Shiny. Each version features 22 Pokémon with increased Shiny odds, but the real difference are the incense exclusive Pokémon which also have increased odds.
Similar to Pokémon GO Community Days, the Kanto Tour event will take place on one day but will feature a larger window of time for players to participate. The event will start at 9 AM local time on February 20 and will run until 9 PM. For these 12 hours, players can encounter all 150 Kanto Pokémon and will have a chance to encounter each one of them as Shiny. With only a couple of weeks to go, Pokémon GO players will want to stock up on Poké Balls and berries for a day filled with catching.
