Pokemon GO is currently running the Trading Card Game (TCG) Crossover event from Thursday, June 16, 2022, at 10:00 AM through Thursday, June 30, 2022, at 8:00 PM local time. Of course, this means that during these two weeks, you’ll have to run around and catch all event-specific Pokemon to add to your collection, such as Lunatone, Solrock, Meltan, Wimpod, and the star of the event: the blue hat-wearing Pikachu. Here’s how you can add the TCG Hat Pikachu to your army of hat-wearing Pikachus in Pokemon GO.
How to Catch Pikachu Wearing a TCG Hat in Pokemon GO
During this event, you are able to find the TCG Hat Pikachu in the wild along with other event-exclusive Pokemon, such as the newly debuted Wimpod or other rare Pokemon. The TCG Hat Pikachu can also spawn as a Shiny; it will look just like a normal Shiny Pikachu but wearing a blue hat. As with other Shiny Pokemon, the odds of finding one is slim, so you might want to use those Lures and Incense you have been saving for this special occasion.
In addition to finding one in the wild, TCG Hat Pikachu can be found by completing event-exclusive Field Research Tasks. Completing them will also lead you to other rare Pokemon. Here is the list of Pokemon TCG Crossover Field Research Task rewards:
Field Research Task | Reward |
Catch 10 Pokèmon | 3 Razz Berries |
Catch 15 Pokèmon | Ivysaur, Charmelon, or Wartortle encounter |
Catch 25 Pokèmon | Venusaur, Charizard, or Blastoise encounter |
Catch 40 Pokèmon | Snorlax, Dragonite, or Slaking encounter |
Spin 5 PokèStops or Gyms | Wimpod encounter |
