Pokémon GO where to get holiday edition Pikachu

While these super cute Santa hat wearing Pikachu's are limited edition, they are not hard to find at all in any major cities and their town center landmarks. Keep in mind, Niantic uses Google Map API and the augmented reality game studio and its Ingres testers prefer artistic cultural centers. In San Francisco, it is easy to find holiday Christmas Pikachu from Pokémon GO at the performance arts center, symphony hall and city street art, city murals.

Some players have been saving extra Pidgey's to evolve during Christmas hoping for another bonus XP event when XP is automatically doubled even without a lucky egg.

Starting Christmas Day, special event, holiday pikachu will appear with much higher frequencies.

I have been playing Pokémon GO religiously. While I am still only at level 29. I have collected nearly all the Pokémon's in the pokedex only missing the legendary, regional (I got mr mime during my visit to the U.K.), and a couple of normal ones. 142 pokemons!
