Pokémon Go has just announced the new bonuses that players unlocked for meeting the conditions of Pokémon Go Fest: Berlin. This includes three new possible encounters, including Pansear, Unknown E, and Wash Rotom.

Here’s the tweet from Pokémon Go’s official feed, which explains that these Pokémon may only be available during the Anniversary Event:

Pokémon Go Fest: Berlin was an in-person event at Britzer Garten, which ran over the Fourth of July weekend between July 1st and July 3rd. There were various event-themed research tasks, and other exclusives like special encounters with Sky Forme Shaymin.

Ultra Unlock details and breakdown

The first bonus is Pansear, the beloved fire monkey that was introduced in the fifth generation of the series, and uniquely requires a fire stone to evolve.

This release should be a relief for those who couldn’t actually attend the Berlin festival, where the debut of shiny Pansears was a big selling point. Now, Pansear will appear all over the world, both in raids and the wild. This includes an opportunity to catch a shiny version.

Next up is Unknown E, one of the classic mysteries of the franchise that first showed up in Gold and Silver. Unknowns were also available in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, tucked away in hidden corners of the world. You’ll only be able to find Unknown E in Raid Battles, but you might get a shiny!

Lastly, fans will have the chance to catch a Wash Rotom. Rotom has the strange ability to transform into five different appliances, and the Wash Rotom resembles a washing machine.

A Frost Rotom would’ve been more on point for the Summer Season, but Wash Rotom is fun nonetheless. Players will need to complete some exclusive Timed Research tasks for the chance to encounter this one.

Lastly, fans will also receive bonuses for a Battle Weekend event. Evolving certain starter Pokémon during the event will give them exclusive attacks from past events that are no longer available.

Also, there are various multipliers and increased effects for battles. You can review the complete list for both bonuses on the official blog post.
