Charcadet joins Pokémon Go in March as an Egg-exclusive—and fans are smoldering

Niantic has confirmed Charcadet will be the next Pokémon from Pokémon Scarlet & Violet to join Pokémon Go—but some players are less than thrilled about its inclusion.

This news was only briefly touched upon in Feb. 27’s Pokémon Presents showcase, but Niantic followed up after the stream with further details in an official blog post. Firstly, Charcadet will debut in March, specifically on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, at 10:00 am local time. However, from the sound of it, you won’t be able to encounter it in the wild; Charcadet will only ever hatch from Eggs. What’s more, while it can hatch from 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km Eggs, this will only be for the duration of a special Pokémon Horizons themed event. Once it wraps up on March 11, Charcadet will be limited to 10km Eggs only.
