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. Mewtwo, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres have returned to Pokemon Go. The legendary Bird Trio may not be everyone’s top priority but is required to complete the Kanto tour challenge.
