The newest event in Pokémon GO, featuring various Kanto Pokémon, has just gone live. As often seen for events, new Pokémon can be discovered in their Shiny form. Thus far, Grimer has been found to have a Shiny version available, as has Geodude.

It is not yet known if Alolan Grimer or Alolan Geodude can be found in their Shiny form or not.

Meanwhile, all Raids currently last an hour and a half. You can catch Zapdos with Thundershock from Raids, but you still cannot use a TM on ones you already own for the move.

Update: It has been confirmed that the region-locked Pokémon; Mr. Mime, Kangaskhan, Tauros and Farfetch’d, can be hatched from 7km eggs for the duration of the Kanto event.
