Pokemon GO's pocket critters will be receiving a cosmetic update in the form of Clone Pokemon on February 25.
Much like the update in which we got a look at the Alolan counterparts of our favourite battle buddies, this update will feature the reskinned versions of certain Pokemon.
Where to find Clone Pokemon in Pokemon Go
- Cloned Pikachu: will photobomb photos of other Pokemon
- Cloned Charizard: available in four-star raids
- Cloned Venusaur: available in four-star raids
- Cloned Blastoise: available in four-star raids
- Armoured Mewtwo: making its return in raids
What are Clone Pokemon?
If you’re not quite clued up on old school Pokemon, there’s a chance you have no idea what we’re talking about. Clone Pokemon originate from the first movie, aptly named Pokémon: The First Movie. In the film, Mewtwo creates an army of Pokemon, burning a distinct pattern into their skin in the process. The scene was both sad and unsettling, so now you get to relive those er, cherished memories by rounding up a bunch of clones for your collection. Hopefully we’ll see more Clone Pokemon make an appearance, as in the movie, Mewtwo created 24 of them in total:
- Charizard
- Squirtle
- Blastoise
- Pidgeot
- Pikachu
- Sandslash
- Nidoqueen
- Vulpix
- Ninetails
- Wigglytuff
- Vileplume
- Meowth
- Psyduck
- Golduck
- Tentacruel
- Rapidash
- Dewgong
- Hitmonlee
- Rhyhorn
- Seadra
- Scyther
- Gyarados
- Vaporeon
- Venusaur
In addition to the clone event, Pokemon GO has a plethora of upcoming events spanning February, covering Valentine’s Day and Pokemon Day, (February 27) and with the newly released Pokemon Home, you’ll be able to collect to your heart's content.
