To coincide with the (very exciting) launch of New Pokemon Snap, Niantic is hosting a brand new event titled Pokemon GO Snap Celebration.

The event sees a range of Pokemon heavily featured in Pokemon Snap making appearances more frequently in Pokemon GO.

Not only are these Pokemon appearing more frequently in the wild, but Niantic has also switched up the raid bosses bringing in the likes of Tyranitar and Hippowdon.
