Move over Santa, Pikachu is coming down the chimney this year.
Pokémon Duel has received its Christmas update. Trainers will have the chance to add rare and powerful Pokémon figures to their collection this Christmas.
The Christmas update features a variety of special activities for players who missed out on some of the limited-time Pokémon Duel characters that were available earlier in the year.
Here’s a list of the times and dates of some of the events that will be occurring, but please note that all times are in PST and that this schedule is subject to change according to the official Pokémon Duel site.
