Fashion Week in Pokemon GO – the debut of another Pokemon and a new mechanic in the game. Everything you need to know

The Fashion Week event returns to Pokemon GO, and with it, players will receive a new creature and access to completely new mechanics.


The creators announced the return of a famous fashion event. It will start soon. It is worth getting acquainted with the latest information, because as it turns out – Niantic has not only prepared the debut of another creature but also completely new mechanics.

Fashion Week in Pokemon GO

The event will start on Tuesday, September 21, 2021, and will run until Tuesday, September 28, 2021.

Furfrou, Pokemon Pudel, zadebiutuje w Pokemon GO podczas Tygodnia Mody – wraz z wieloma swoimi formami! Wypatrujcie różnych stylowo ubranych stworków pojawiających na wolności i podczas rajdów, a także nowych przedmiotów dla waszej postaci. Z okazji wydarzenia w sklepie odbędzie się pierwsza w swoim rodzaju wyprzedaż wybranych przedmiotów kosmetycznych!

On the occasion of the event, the following attractions are planned:

  • If you’re lucky, you might encounter a Shiny Butterfree, Shiny Sneasel, Shiny Smoochum, Shiny Kirlia, Shiny Shinx, Shiny Croagunk, or Shiny Blitzle—all wearing fashionable costumes! You may encounter Shiny Blitzle without a costume after Fashion Week has concluded, but you won’t see Blitzle in the wild very often.
  • After Fashion Week ends, Blitzle will not be seen frequently in the wild.

New form change mechanics

Furfrou’s debut in Pokemon GO also marks the arrival of a new feature that will allow some Pokemon to change forms.

Changing Furfrou from one form to any other will cost 25 candy and 10,000 Stardust.
