Pokemon GO Ultra Unlock: Better Together – Featured Pokemon

Like any featured Pokemon GO event, the Ultra Unlock event is bringing a couple of monsters. However, instead of the same old roster, the event is debuting two new Pokemon to the game with some increased wild encounters with existing ones!

Pokemon GO Ultra Unlock Debut Pokemon

The Pokemon GO Ultra Unlock event is bringing Tandemaus and Maushold for the first time! Named as the couple Pokemon, Tandemaus is a Normal-type Pokemon. You can catch Tandemaus while playing in Pokemon GO Party Play mode or as a Field Research and Timed Research reward. Once caught you can encounter a shiny Tandemaus and evolve it to Maushold with 50 Tandemaus candies.
