During the event, Floragato wearing a hat with Liko’s pin will debut as an alternate form. This new critter is based on Liko's own Floragato (now a Meowscarada) and will be available as Shiny during the event.

• 3-star Raids

3) Charcadet

Charcadet will be making its debut as a Shiny during this event. As Charcadet branches into Armarouge and Ceruledge when evolved, players should try their best to get multiple Shiny Charcadet. This will allow them to get Shiny Armarouge and Shiny Ceruledge during this event.

Where can Charcadet be found during the event?

• 7km eggs

Additionally, Charcadet will be moved to the 10 km egg group once the Pokemon Horizons: The Series Celebration Event is over.

4) Slugma

Slugma will spawn more often during the Pokemon Horizons: The Series Celebration Event. This Generation II mon has a cool-looking Shiny form, with its usual lava orangish-red replaced with a silver color reminiscent of ash.

Where can Slugma be found during the event?

• Encounters in the wild

5) Snorunt

Snorunt, just like Charcadet, is a branched evolution. It can evolve into Glalie when given 100 candies, which can Mega Evolve. But female Snorunt can be fed 100 candies and given a Sinnoh Stone to evolve into Froslass. So, just like Charcadet, it makes sense for players to hunt for multiple Shiny Snorunt to get both Froslass and Glalie as shinies.

Where can Snorunt be found during the event?

• Encounters in the wild
