Pokémon Go brings Out the Squirtle Squad

Everyone has a favorite Pokémon, whether it was good old faithful Pikachu, or the wise cracking Meowth from the Anime. For a lot of fans, the Squirtle gang was a big hit as they rolled around town tagging walls, dressing hip with their sunglasses, and generally acting like every stereotypical gang of tough guys you could think of.

Now, Niantic have brought the popular gang straight to Pokémon Go with the possibility of finding some Sunglasses wearing Squirtles for your own. If you’re looking to form your own gang of Water type hoodlums, these are the ones you want.

Attention, Trainers: if you complete Field Research tasks during Community Day, you may have a chance to encounter Squirtle sporting sunglasses. Good luck! pic.twitter.com/hacoIvzOCD

This is the first time we’ve seen a costumed Pokémon that wasn’t series mascot Pikachu. We’ve seen the adorable little mouse in Santa hats, party hats, and even trainer hats reminiscent of Ash Ketchum himself, but he’s never sported shades as cool as this before.

The Squirtle Squad is just as cool now as they were when they debuted so many years ago, so make sure you complete your Field Research tasks during the community day and you might just have a chance at spotting, and capturing, the little rascals.
