Trivia

• Claiming Kanto Starters from research tasks gave party hat forms. However, the tasks were removed soon after the event started.
• Evolving the Kanto Starters to their final forms did not learn exclusive moves.
  • However, evolving Haunter to Gengar could learn Lick and Psychic.
• Nidorino and Gengar Raid Day was canceled in Japan, South Korea and Italy due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
