The Mountains of Power event has finally arrived in Pokemon GO.

This will be the second event in a busy month for the game. Pokemon GO recently held an event for New Years, while the Spheal Community Day is coming later in January. Mountains of Power will allow trainers to load up on many Pokemon including one newcomer, and new research as always.

The Pokemon that trainers can find in the wild during this event are as follows:

• Zubat

• Geodude
• Slugma
• Barboach
• Nosepass

Onix and Ferroseed can also be found as rare encounters. Also, all of these Pokemon have a chance of being shiny when encountered.
