The first true adventure of the Mythical Wishes season of content in Pokémon Go is now underway, with the Mythic Blade event bringing the Swords of Justice back to the game and introducing Keldeo for the first time.
Running from Dec. 6 to 11, players will encounter an increased number of Fighting-type Pokémon, including the first appearance of Crabrawler and its evolution Crabominable.
Most of these encounters will be split between normal and boosted spawns, with the latter requiring players to grab the Something ExtraordinarySpecial Research story ticket for $7.99. This will also unlock a number of event bonuses and the chance to encounter Keldeo (Ordinary Form) as it makes its debut.
