- What's new? Detective Pikachu is coming to Pokémon Go for a limited time only
To celebrate the upcoming release of the Detective Pikachu film, The Pokémon Company International, in collaboration with Niantic, Inc., Warner Bros. Pictures, and Legendary Pictures, has announced a bunch of movie-inspired in-game activities and content coming to Pokémon Go for a limited time.
From May 7 until May 17, Pokémon Go players will have access to special Detective Pikachu content, including a chance to catch a deerstalker-wearing Pikachu and an increased chance of encountering the Pokémon featured in the film (that means more Jigglypuffs, Bulbasaurs, Cubones, Eevees and much more).
Check out the announcement trailer below:
Pokémon Go has released three legendary Pokémon into the game
Niantic has released the rare Legendary Lake Guardian Trio of Azelf, Mesprit, Uxie into Pokémon Go.
To date Legendaries have only appeared in Pokémon Go as special research or in Tier 5 raids
As far as we know, players have only reported one of the illusive trio per region with Azelf residing in the Americas, Uxie in Asia-Pacific and Mesprit in Europe. So unless you fancy traveling the globe, you are unlikely to catch all three.

When's the next Pokémon Go event?
Currently Pokémon Go is celebrating the upcoming release of the Detective Pikachu film with a special limited time event.
During this time you have the chance to be photobombed by (and catch) a Detective Hat Pikachu. To be in with the chance of finding the world's cutest detective, you need to use Pokémon Go Snapshot, hope Detective Pikachu photobombs you, then you'll have a chance to catch him.
Pokémon Go players will also have more Encounters with Pokémon that appear in the Detective Pikachu movie as well as opportunities to catch Shiny Aipom.
In addition, you'll be able to participate in Raid Battles that challenge Pokémon with starring roles in the film (such as Psyduck), as well as film-inspired Field Research.
If that isn't enough, you'll be able to customize their in-game avatars with movie-themed items, including a detective hat with Pikachu ears.
This special content will only be available from May 7 at 1pm PDT / 9pm GMT / 4pm EDT (or May 8 at 6am AEDT) until May 17 at 1pm PDT / 9pm GMT / 4pm EDT (or May 18 at 6am AEDT).
Niantic are also gearing up for Pokémon Go Fest Chicago which will run from June 13 to 19, 2019.
Check out the official Pokémon Go events page for more details.
When's the next Pokémon Go Community Day?
Pokémon Go's next Community Day takes place on May 19. The featured Pokémon for the event will be Torchic, while the bonuses for the event will be three times catch Stardust and three-hour-long lures. However, we don't know what exclusive move will be available.
Pokémon Go update: what's next?
Niantic hasn't revealed what updates they have planned next, but we expect a summer/winter event in the coming months.
If the Spring event is anything to go by, we will be seeing seasonal content for the summer and winter events - potentially including limited time prizes?
For summer, we imagine there will be a Fire-type event (because it's warm, right?) while winter is likely to see a Ice-type event.
