Pikachu is getting a sweet makeover in Pokémon Café ReMix, where players can obtain a special Pikachu sporting a sugary "sweets outfit" by simply logging in.
In the realm of Pokémon UNITE, three new additions are on the horizon. Suicune, Alolan Raichu, and Alcremie are set to join the battle, adding more excitement to the popular game.
Looking ahead, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, scheduled for October 16, 2025. This highly anticipated game will launch simultaneously on the new Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Nintendo Switch, with improved performance on the Switch 2 version.
Set in the single-city open world of Lumiose City, previously seen in Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Legends: Z-A promises expanded exploration and real-time combat mechanics like dodging and commands. The game marks the return of Mega Evolutions after seven years, including Mega Dragonite debuting as a wild Pokémon capable of mega evolving autonomously.
New gameplay features announced include Pokémon grooming and story-driven elements involving rivals and new Pokémon species. It is being promoted as a major exclusive for the Nintendo Switch 2, available in a bundle with the console priced at $499.99, with pre-orders starting July 23, 2025.
Remoat Stadium has returned to ranked matches in Pokémon UNITE, and mass outbreaks of red-, green-, and blue-colored Pokémon are taking place in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet from Feb. 27 at 4:00 p.m. PST to March 20 at 4:59 p.m. PDT. A gift code POKEDAY25 is available for Pokémon UNITE, which must be redeemed before March 31, 2025, at 4:59 p.m. PDT.
On the other hand, a trio of Tera Raid Battle events is headed to the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet games. Passwords SB00KC0VER for Pokémon Scarlet and VB00KC0VER for Pokémon Violet can be entered in the Mystery Gift menu to spruce up the in-game Rotom Phone.
In Pokémon Café ReMix, Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly will be available in special outfit packs, and a new apple-based menu item has been introduced, which allows Flapple or Appletun to join the cafe staff upon event completion. Eevee in its sweets outfit can be obtained by logging in for three days.
Lastly, let's take a moment to remember the debut of the original PokémonTM Red and Pokémon Green games 29 years ago. A new game, Pokémon Champions, is also headed to the Nintendo SwitchTM system and mobile devices.
