Pokemon Go's Rival's Week will introduce Skrelp and Clauncher

For the past few weeks, Niantic’s Pokemon Go has been on an event hosting spree and today in The Season of Legends they are all set to celebrate rivalries between Pokémon in the new Rival’s week. Pokémon such as Skrelp and Clauncher will be making their Pokémon GO debut, whilst Therian Forme Landorus will be appearing in five-star raids for the first time. The event will start on Tuesday, April 13, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. and run until Sunday, April 18, 2021, at 8:00 p.m. local time.

Training with friends is a great way to improve, but there’s something special about testing your limits against a rival! ???? Did you know that some Pokémon are known to be rivals, too? ???? An event featuring these Pokémon will be coming soon! https://t.co/3hZ1YQE8oz pic.twitter.com/hOV5vMfNMK — Pokémon GO (@PokemonGoApp) April 5, 2021
