FULL STORY ======================================================================

Pokmon Go is teaming up with its tabletop counterpart for a crossover event that will roll out a handful of new features to the mobile game.

The Pokmon Trading Card Game is receiving a Pokmon Go-themed expansion set this July, bringing several of Niantics AR pocket monsters to physical cards. According to a blog post , Pokmon Go will be running a crossover event from June 16 to June 30 to coincide with the release, and will debut a handful of new releases for the mobile game.

Chief among them is a new version of Pikachu. The electric mouse will soon be found in the wild wearing a hat. Its not just any hat, either, but a Pokmon TCG hat which amounts to a blue baseball cap emblazoned with the two crossed Pokmon trading cards on its front. It'll be joined by bug/water type Wimpod and its evolved form Golisopod, who will also be making their debuts. (Image credit: Niantic) Challenge accepted

Six collection challenges will go live during the event, tasking you with catching specific pocket monsters that are part of the upcoming Pokmon TCG: Pokmon Go expansion set. The challenges will be of varying difficulties, and reward you with XP, Lures, Incubators, and the chance to encounter Venasuar, Blastoise, Meltan, and Charizard whos still one of the best fire-type pokmon in Pokmon Go .

An additional three challenges will launch on June 23, and a bunch of time-limited raids will be available throughout. Any Mewtwo thats caught in its five-star raid during the crossover event will know the Charged Attack Psystrike as an added bonus.

Pokmon Go hasnt had a slow past few weeks, with its most recent community day going live on May 21. And it wont slow down for Amazon Prime members. Anyone whos subscribed to Amazons premium service will be able to bag a bunch of freebies over the next couple of months. Dont expect a hatted Pikachu to be among them, though.
