Pokémon Go rings in 2021 with Slowpoke
2020 is a year that will live on in infamy, and now it’s very nearly over. 2021 will hopefully be better, and it’s already off to a flying start with a customised Slowpoke appearing in Pokémon Go.
The lethargic Pokémon will appear with special New Year's glasses, celebrating both 2020 and 2021. How come? Well, Slowpoke is late to the party as always, according to Niantic. There will be other costumed Pokémon as well, with new avatar items and party hats as well.
