Snom’s Big Debut: Because We Needed More Bugs in Our Lives
First up, the adorable yet perpetually confused-looking **Snom** is making its grand appearance. Yes, folks, the Bug/Ice Pokémon you didn’t know you needed (or wanted) is here. For those unfamiliar, Snom is essentially a squishy ice worm with a face that screams, “Why am I here?” But hey, the more, the merrier!
Expect Snom to invade the wild, 7km eggs, and, of course, field research tasks. So, if you’ve always dreamed of hatching snow bugs while walking 5,000 steps a day, this is your moment.

Shiny Tandemaus: Because Regular Tandemaus Wasn’t Bland Enough
Feeling lucky? Shiny Tandemaus is making its debut, and spoiler alert—it’s just slightly less boring than its non-shiny counterpart. But don’t let that stop you! After all, nothing screams “dedicated Pokémon trainer” like spending hours trying to catch a slightly different shade of a Pokémon that looks like two rodents glued together.
If you’re wondering what to do with this shiny duo, well, join the club. But hey, at least it’ll look good in your collection, right?

Mythical Showdown: Origin Forme Dialga & Palkia Are Back
In case you’ve been living under a Geodude, **Origin Forme Dialga** and **Palkia** are returning to raids. These cosmic legends are here to remind everyone that time and space are overrated concepts when you’re busy grinding for candy.
Pro tip: Bring your best Fairy and Dragon counters. Or just show up, tap your screen like you mean it, and hope for the best. Either way, it’s bound to be epic—or at least a good excuse to ignore your responsibilities.
