Diancie, Carbink, Sigilyph, and more announced for Pokemon GO Fest 2023

With the Pokemon GO Fest 2023 arriving in the next couple of months, Niantic has revealed a bevy of new information about what trainers can experience once the festivities start. These include the confirmation of the appearance of Diancie, Carbink, Sigilyph, a host of Shiny Pokemon, and more. Given that the Pokemon GO Fest 2023 is divided into in-person events and global festivities, there's plenty for trainers to wrap their heads around.

Pokemon GO's official website reportedly leaked Diancie's involvement with the upcoming GO Fest 2023. Given that the pocket monster is also known as the Jewel Pokemon, it fits quite well with Season 11 Hidden Gem's visual aesthetic and overall theme.
