Its headliner is Squawkabilly, the Parrot Pok\u00e9mon from Scarlet and Violet, debuting in GO with a regional form system that matters specifically for Singapore players.<\/p>\n<p>Squawkabilly comes in four plumage forms, each tied to a hemisphere:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Yellow Plumage<\/strong> \u2014 worldwide<\/li>\n<li><strong>White Plumage<\/strong> \u2014 worldwide (also appears in the wild and Field Research)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green Plumage<\/strong> \u2014 Eastern Hemisphere only \u2014 <strong>this is what Singapore trainers will encounter<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Blue Plumage<\/strong> \u2014 Western Hemisphere only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Wild spawns during the event include Hoothoot, Rookidee, and White Plumage Squawkabilly, with shiny encounters available.

The headline: <strong>Shadow Reshiram<\/strong> makes its very first appearance in Pok\u00e9mon GO.<\/p>\n<p>To encounter it, you\u2019ll need to work through the <strong>GO Pass: Flying Taxi<\/strong>, earn a Super Rocket Radar, and track down Giovanni \u2014 who <strong>appears exclusively at Pok\u00e9Stops<\/strong> during this event, not in balloons. That means heading out to explore, not waiting at home. Defeat him and you get your shot at Shadow Reshiram, with shiny encounters possible.<\/p>\n<p>Sierra, Cliff, and Arlo are also running updated lineups, and <a href=\"https:\/\/pokemongo.com\/en\/news\/flying-taxi-taken-over-2026\">new Shadow Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> have been added across all Grunt encounters, including <strong>Shadow Rookidee, Shadow Noibat, Shadow Seel, and Shadow Hoothoot<\/strong> \u2014 all shiny-eligible.<\/p>\n<h2>GO Pass and Bonuses<\/h2>\n<p>The GO Pass: Flying Taxi unlocks automatically when the event opens on 23 June.

Paid upgrades: <strong>GO Pass Deluxe (US$4.99)<\/strong> for enhanced rewards, or <strong>GO Pass Deluxe + 6 Ranks (US$6.99)<\/strong> to fast-track to Rank 7 automatically.<\/p>\n<h2>Last words<\/h2>\n<p>For Singapore trainers, this is a serious week to be outdoors. Shadow Reshiram is a top-tier Dragon and Fire legendary that has been absent from GO until now, and Green Plumage Squawkabilly is an Eastern Hemisphere exclusive you can only grab here.
