Wow, that’s an exciting development for Pokémon GO players who happen to be at EGX, ExCel London. We’re talking about an exclusive in-game event that coincides with EGX, which is already a must-attend event for gaming enthusiasts. Running from October 12 to 15, 2023, this special Pokémon GO event has got some pretty nifty features lined up. Let’s break it down.

First off, you’ve got new Timed Research tasks to sink your teeth into, and what’s the star of this show? A Party Hat Pikachu. I mean, who doesn’t love a good ol’ Pikachu, especially when it’s dressed for a party? It’s like a pocket-sized celebration.

Next up, there’s Unown E making an appearance. Unowns are always a crowd-pleaser, mainly because they’re so elusive. So, having one show up for an event like this? That’s just icing on the cake. Now, let’s talk Lures. These bad boys will last for a whopping 3 hours. That’s plenty of time to snag all the Pokémon you’re after, not to mention it’s a lure-palooza for those who can capitalize on it.

Lastly, attendees will enjoy more PokéStops, which translates to more items, more Pokémon, and more fun. Honestly, it’s a win-win all around.

So if you’re one of the lucky ducks who can make it to EGX, ExCel London, get ready for a double dose of entertainment. You get to experience the best of EGX and Pokémon GO in one action-packed weekend. To all the Trainers attending, we say, enjoy, catch responsibly, and may your Poké Balls never miss.
