The star of this year's festival will be the Mythical Pokemon Marshadow. Niantic has already teased Marshadow's Pokemon GO debut ahead of the official event announcement, later confirming that the creature will be obtainable as a limited-time Special Research reward. The promo will feature over 70 pocket monsters in total, not accounting for several costumed Pokemon such as Pikachu and Eevee with Pokemon Sun and Moon crowns.

The in-person events will also feature Klefki, a Generation 6 creature resembling a key ring that Pokemon GO players can normally only encounter in France. Emolga, Crabrawler, and Ducklett's shinies will have their in-game debuts during these local festivities as well. Meanwhile, all global attendees will have a chance of encountering a shiny variant of Jangmo-o for the very first time. The Heat variant of Rotom will be photobombing Snapshots for the duration of the event, with Niantic also teasing some other yet-to-be-announced bonuses.
