In a special crossover event, everyone’s beloved electric mouse, Pikachu, is making its mark in Pokémon Go with a new variant and powerful signature attack.

Horizons’ Captain Pikachu and Charcadet Join Pokémon Go
Get ready, Trainers! A new and exciting Pikachu variant is about to electrify Pokémon Go. Captain Pikachu, the latest event variant, will be making its debut in the wild starting March 5th. Sporting a stylish captain’s hat, this Electric Mouse Pokémon stands out among its peers with its unique appearance.
You can encounter Captain Pikachu through One-Star Raids and surprise encounters, adding a thrilling twist to your Pokémon hunting adventures. Keep an eye out for the elusive Shiny version as well! In a nod to its origins, Captain Pikachu brings the iconic Volt Tackle attack to Pokémon Go, marking its first appearance in the mobile game. With a power ranking of 90, Volt Tackle packs a punch and can even lower the defense stat of its target.
Originating from the anime series Pokémon Horizons, Captain Pikachu is a familiar face outside its Poké Ball. Known for its endearing charm, this Pikachu variant is anything but ordinary. However, don’t let its cuteness fool you—Captain Pikachu is allergic to being called cute! Alongside Captain Pikachu, other new Pokémon such as Fuecoco, Sprigatito, and the Charcadet evolutionary line are also making their Pokémon Go debut.
But act fast, Trainers! The Captain Pikachu event will only be available for a limited time, ending on March 11th, 2024. So gear up, set sail, and embark on this electrifying adventure with Captain Pikachu in Pokémon Go!
