Pokemon Go news: Here’s when special Pikachu leaves the Pokemon Day party

Pokemon Go fans only have a few hours left to capture the special Pokemon Day Pikachu.

The limited time Pikachu leaves the game at 9pm UK time later tonight.

Released to celebrate Pokemon Day, the festive Pikacu is wearing a party hat.

And with an abundance of Pikachus appearing in the game, it’s also the perfect way to evolve yourself a Raichu or two.

“Happy Pokémon Day! Celebrate all things Pokémon with festive Pikachu wearing party hats available in the wild from February 26 to February 28.”

The special Pikachu also has a special move called present, not to mention additional stardust bonuses.

It will probably make a return for the next Pokemon Go anniversary later this year.

The news comes as Niantic announces plans for the third Community Day event in March.

The event revolves around Bulbasaur, which means Trainers can expect to find more of the starter Pokemon in the wild.

This is ideal for anybody looking to evolve Bulbasaur into the more powerful Ivysaur and Venusaur.

Bulbasaur and/or its evolutions will know a special move as part of the event, although Niantic is yet to reveal what it is.

If it’s anything like this weekend’s Community event, you can also expect a new Shiny to launch.

Other bonuses include triple XP for capturing Pokemon and 3-hour lures.

Community Day 3 takes place on March 25 and runs from 10am UK time until 1pm UK time.
