Pokémon The Movie: Secrets Of The Jungle Event Rerun Adds Zarude To Pokemon GO

Niantic has confirmed the return of the Pokemon The Movie Secrets Of The Jungle event to Pokemon GO, bringing with it a new Mythical Pokemon.

The rerun will include all the previous special features from the original run of the event, including Jessie & James and Explorer Cap Pikachu. However, whereas the original featured Shiny Celebi, the rerun will add the mythical Pokemon Zarude to the game through a set of Special Research tasks.
