The Pokemon Go Kanto Tour is currently underway. At the moment trainers around the world who have bought the pass are trying to catch all 150 original Pokemon; each Pokemon offers the chance to get a shiny version. For the event, all of the 151 Pokemon will have the chance to be shiny, even ones not previously released. Trainers will have to choose between Team Red or Team Green. Whichever team you choose will determine which Pokemon spawn more frequently. So depending on which you choose during the Pokemon Go Kanto Tour will determine your Shiny spawns. In addition, Mewtwo, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres have returned to Pokemon Go. Here is how to take on the Pokemon Go Mewtwo raid.
