Pokemon GO Adding Furfrou for Fashion Week
The Season of Mischief is well underway and Pokemon GO players have already had a chance to jump into some exciting events and Special Research opportunities during early September. As the month continues, it’s time to start looking forward to upcoming events, like Fashion Week 2021, which will keep the hype going through the rest of September.
The mobile AR game has featured a Fashion Week event for the last few years, but its features may seem a little more exciting than usual this time around. Not only will Pokemon GO be offering new avatar items and new fashionable outfits for select Pokemon, but the game is also going to be debuting a new Pokemon during the event.
The original explanation and teaser for this year’s Fashion Week event alluded to the fact that a new Pokedex entry would be available during the event, but the hint was a little too vague to accurately speculate about who it would be. Now, the original teaser of a “fluffy and fashionable friend” has a teaser image to go along with it, which helps narrow down the options quite a bit.
Although Niantic still hasn’t officially confirmed which Pokemon will debut in plain text, the silhouette image definitely seems to line up with Furfrou. This Normal-type Pokemon from Gen 6 has not appeared in PoGO yet and definitely seems to match up with the teasers.
This year’s Fashion Week event is going to span from September 21 to September 28 and promises that “Stylishly dressed Pokémon will be making their debuts, along with a fluffy and fashionable friend! Strut your stuff with these fashionable Pokémon, new avatar items, and more during Fashion Week.”
It's possible that the event could include other debuts, but so far the information seems to point to one entirely new debut and then a handful of fashion debuts that include new outfits and avatar items. Even if that is the case, one new Pokedex is still an exciting event in the mobile AR game and should help build a little extra hype around the Fashion Week event and its related activities.
Exact spawns, outfits, bonuses, and items for the event should be confirmed sometime closer to September 21 start date, so fans will definitely want to check back to get those details and find out if there are any special limited time tasks or rewards available during the event window.
Be sure to check back soon for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there trainers!
