Why these three particular Pokemon? Well, Party Hat Wrumple originally appeared as part of loading screen artwork for New Years 2018 – but this will be the first time the Pokemon is officially available in-game. As for Raticate, some speculate that it was chosen to represent the upcoming Year of the Mouse, according to the tradition zodiac cycle. Lastly, Wobuffet may have been chosen due to being dex number #202 – which is one zero away from forming ‘2020’.
