How To Get Summer Pikachu Pokemon Go
By Jesse Collins ·
It's the 2nd anniversary for Pokemon Go and they're celebrating with another Pikachu and Pichu, this time wearing a summer hat and sunglasses.
Pokemon Go may be celebrating it's 2nd anniversary, but the weekend is just getting started for all of the celebration. As of right now, Pikachu and Pichu wearing a summer hat and sunglasses is available to be caught. But, how do you do it?
How to get the Summer Hat Pikachu
The answer is a lot easier than anything: Just catch it. They're out in the wild right now.
If you haven't caught one, the Who's that Pokemon?-style outline is easy to spot.
We recommend using an Ultra Ball and a Razzberry if you're not sure if the CP is too high to catch. But otherwise, treat it just like any other Pokemon you can catch.
Once the Pikachu or Pichu has been caught, the outline will fill in, just like any other Pokemon after being caught. Pichu wearing the summer hat can also be caught and evolved all the way up. Both Pichu and Pikachu can also be evolved up to a Raichu also wearing a summer hat, just like last year's Ash Hat Pikachu.
Pikachu style comes to your character
Once you've caught enough Pikachu this (or any) month, it now unlocks special clothes that can then be purchased. Just like with the Jogger and Fisherman medals, those that work on the Pikachu Fan medal now have the option to earn a Pikachu headband, shoes, shorts, and finally a shirt.
Tier 1: Catch 3 Pikachu - Pikachu Fan Headband (180 Pokecoins)
Tier 2: Catch 50 Pikachu - Pikachu Fan Shoes (200 Pokecoins), Pikachu Fan Shorts (200 Pokecoins)
Tier 3: Catch 300 Pikachu - Pikachu Fan Shirt (250 Pokecoins)
