There will be plenty of Pokemon spawning during the Carnival of Flamigo event, and some of them will have an increased shiny rate. Among the regular spawns, a new Pokemon will also be debuting in this event. We have listed all the information below.

New Pokemon Debut

As the event’s name suggests, Flamigo, the Synchronize Pokemon is debuting in the Pokemon GO Carnival of Flamigo event. Flamigo is a Fighting and Flying-type Pokemon, that cannot evolve.
