Pancham is finally debuting in Pokemon Go for a limited-time event in May, added to wild encounters and in Raids. Luckily for you, we’ve got everything you need to know to find one and cross it off your Pokedex.
New Pokemon have been making their debuts throughout the month, thanks to the Luminous Legends X and Y events hosted in-game.
These events will see the introduction of very popular Pokemon, including Legendary Xerneas, Sylveon, and more! Next up for Raids, however, is the cute panda Pokemon, which evolves into Pangoro – which potentially has a future place in the Go meta.
If you would like to get yourself one in Pokemon Go, we’ve got you covered.
