I want to be the very best, like no one ever was…. isn’t that true for everyone? Pokémon Go TCG crossover has done it again by launching a new, and free, in-game event.

This event will include the return of Mewtwo appearing in raids, shiny Meltan, event-themed Pokémon making their exclusive Pokémon Go debut from the TCG world, and launching their latest expansion on July 1st, 2022.

As the TCG and Pokémon Go worlds collide, players around the world can begin their quest to complete not one, but six in-game collection challenges, with a further three launching on June 23.

Launching June 16, 2022, from 10 am until June 30, 2022, 8 pm local time, ahead of the TCG expansion release, the series of collection challenges brings players the task of catching Pokémon of varying abilities.

To mark the release of the TCG expansion pack release, Wimpod and its evolution, Golisopod, make their debut appearance in Pokémon Go during this event.

Both Wimpod and Golisopod are bug and water-type Pokémon. Wimpod can be found in 1* raids, as well as encountering it in the wild, requiring a massive 400 candy to then evolve into Golisopod.
