Niantic confirms the following Pokémon will begin appearing in the wild more often during the week-long event: Mareep, Skitty, Roselia, Kricketot, Croagunk wearing a backward cap, Blitzle, Cottonee, Minccino, Gothita and more.

UP NEXT
Niantic confirmed on its blog that the fashion week event will come with its own exclusive field research. Until the event goes live, we won’t know what these tasks are, but we’ll update this section as soon as we learn more.
POKEMON GO SHINY KRICKETOT
The Bug-type Pokémon Kricketot will get its Shiny form added to Pokémon Go with this new event.
Shiny Kricketot is vastly different from its usual form in terms of coloring. Regular Kricketot is a reddish-orange color, but its shiny form will see it turn a more faded yellow. Trainers won’t have a problem seeing the difference between the two.
FASHION POKEMON
There will be several Pokémon that will appear in Pokémon Go wearing various articles of clothing that trainers will want to catch to add to their collection.
Smoochum, the baby form of Jynx, will hatch from 7km Eggs during this event and will appear wearing a bow.
Kirlia, the middle evolution of the Ralts line, will appear in raids wearing a top hat. This special Pokémon will also know the move Draining Kiss, a powerful Fairy-type attack that Kirlia normally doesn’t learn.
Also appearing in raids is Shinx, the small Electric-type Pokémon, wearing a top hat as well. And finally, we have the Poison and Fighting-type Pokémon Croagunk appearing, wearing a backwards cap. To encounter this Pokémon, be sure to take a snapshot with your buddy to get a surprise.
