'Pokémon Go' April Fool's Day Event: Start Time, Shiny Croagunk & More

April starts off with a bang in Pokémon Go, with a new event featuring the debut of a Pokémon from Unova and two more Shiny forms.

Pokémon Go's April Fools' Day event focuses on the Pokémon that are "jokesters," meaning those Pokémon you'd normally find in the main games disguised as something else or ones that like to play tricks on trainers.

Some of the Pokémon that will see an increase in wild spawns include: Gastly, Haunter, Voltorb, Ditto, Sudowoodo, Aipom, Croagunk, Foongus and Stunfisk.

Stunfisk is making its long-awaited debut in so the Ground-and-Electric type will be available in various ways during the event. Not only will it appear in the wild more frequently, but it'll also hatch from 5km Eggs - along with Croagunk, Aipom, Wynaut and Bonsly.
