Is Furfrou coming to Pokemon GO?

Following the announcement of Pokemon GO's Season of Mischief event, many players have noticed that even though Furfrou appears on the game's loading screen, it is yet to be catchable.

It is not known when exactly Furfrou will be coming to Pokemon GO.

When the Season of Mischief first started, Niantic announced that Inkay would be joining the roster on September 13th, 2021, which is when the Psychic Spectacular event will begin.

Furfrou will most likely be added to Pokemon GO during a similar event. However, there is no confirmation on when this event will happen or what it will be about.

While players are unaware as to when Furfrou will be released, data miners have found the Poodle Pokemon's moves and stats for its expected release in Pokemon GO.
