A lot has been happening in Pokemon Go of late. Last week, developer Niantic rolled out the game`s Adventure Sync feature, which was followed closely by the latest Community Day. Now another new event is underway for a limited-time, and it gives you a chance to hatch some hard-to-find Pokemon.From now until November 27, Niantic is holding the Hatchathon event in Pokemon Go. During that time frame, you`ll be able to hatch Pokemon with evolved forms that were first introduced in the series` Gen 4 titles--Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum--from 2 km Eggs.A number of popular Pokemon such as Rhydon, Porygon, Electabuzz, and Magmar all received new evolutions in the Gen 4 Pokemon games, so this event is a good chance to add their base or baby forms to your collection. Moreover, Niantic says you`ll have a chance of hatching Shiny Elekid during the event, making this the first time it has been available in Go.Coinciding with the Hatchaton event, Niantic has also rolled out Gen 4`s new Pokemon evolutions. In order to get them, you`ll need to stock up on the appropriate Candy and get your hands on a Sinnoh Stone, a new evolutionary item. However, at the moment, it appears the only way to obtain one is by completing enough Field Research tasks and achieving a Research Breakthrough.In related news, the Pokemon series` next console games, Let`s Go Pikachu and Let`s Go Eevee, launch for Nintendo Switch this week, on November 16. The pair support connectivity with Pokemon Go; you can synch up to the Switch games via Bluetooth and transfer Gen 1 Pokemon to them. Doing so will in return get you the Mystery Box, a strange item used to find the new Mythical Pokemon Meltan. Niantic also shared the first teaser trailer for Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, the new Harry Potter AR game it is co-developing with WB Games.
