Pokémon Go ‘Pokémon Horizons The Series Celebration’ 2026 event guide
Pokémon Go is hosting “Pokémon Horizons: The Series Celebration,” a limited-time event running from September 16-22, 2026, that ties the mobile game to the anime series. The event prominently features Charmander dressed in Friede’s iconic goggles, alongside other Pokémon from the anime.
The event includes several special features. Kecleon will spawn more frequently at PokéStops throughout the event period. Players can capture up to five snapshots daily with a chance of triggering a photobomb encounter. These photobombs grant encounters with Meowscarada, Skeledirge, Quaquaval, or Charizard—all wearing Friede’s goggles as an exclusive cosmetic variant. This anime-themed celebration offers players opportunities to obtain these distinctly styled Pokémon variants available only during the event window.
