Everything else you need to know about the Fashion Week event in Pokémon Go

The main attraction of this year’s Fashion Week event is the release of Mareanie and Toxapex in Pokemon Go. These two poison and water-type Gen 7 Pokémon hail from the seas of the Alola region, but, to fully complete their Pokédex entries, you need to know how to evolve Mareanie into Toxapex.

Fashion Week, of course, also sees the release of new costume Pokémon. This year you can catch Absols wearing sunglasses, Toxicroak wearing caps and both Digletts and Dugtrios wearing bowler hats.
