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 151 Pokemon will have a chance to be shiny, even ones not previously released. Trainers will have to choose between Team Red or Team Green.
