Alolan forms coming to Pokemon GO

Well...that was unexpected. Prepare for surfing Raichu and oversized Exeggutor to invade this game.

They should add a new twist that you can only find it by traversing the seas yourself too.

I wonder how Pikachu will evolve into one or the other. Will you be able to tell it's an Alolan Pikachu, or will it evolve differently when you travel to Hawaii? d:

tfw gen 7 forms make it into the game before gen 4 does. T_T;;;

I'm surprised they're doing this now and not, like, nearer the release of SM/USUM, but I guess the ramp-up for summer makes sense. At any rate, I hope Alolan Vulpix is in the mix! It's my fave Alola form. :D

I'm thinking you'll have to catch Alolan Exeggutor, Marowak and Raichu in the wild.

My guess is you have an optional evolution, like how Gloom has the choice in evolution, for Pikachu/Cubone/Exeggcute.

Alola Exeggutor y'all! There's apparently a nest near me so imma go catch!
