Variants of Pokémon are a fun flavor to have in Pokémon Go. It gives collectors the opportunity to acquire unique versions of Pokémon that are only available for a set amount of time, thus increasing the overall pool of choices in the game. The particular variant that many are looking for is the Libre Pikachu, and coaches even have the chance to dress up as the Libre Pikachu. To acquire this adorable Pokemon, you need to familiarize yourself with the game's new fighting league, how to navigate the leaderboards, and the more victories you earn, the more rewards you receive like meeting Scraggy.
For those looking for this Pokemon, you might want to hold your breath and have to wait a bit. Niantic shared through their Pokémon Go Twitter that the Pokémon will be available at a specific time in the future.
