Jesse and James of Team Rocket will also be appearing during the event, flying around in their Meowth balloon from October 1-15. There will also be free avatar items available in the shop during the event and PokeStops will be dropping themed field research, leading to encounters with Audino, Rufflet, and more.
The Zarude event also overlaps with October’s Pokemon Community Day, which takes place on October 9 and features the adorably spooky Duskull.
