Pokemon GO Galarian forms are finally popping up in Niantic's augmented-reality creature catching game. If you've been anxious to expand your massive collection of 'mons to even greater heights, you now have a fair few new creatures to capture.
Multiple submissions on Reddit's /r/TheSilphRoad have spotted a variety of Pokemon GO Galarian forms. Galarian Meowth, Galarian Stunfisk, and Galarian Darmanitan were some of the first Pokemon spotted in this wave of new additions. Another submission goes into detail about their PVP viability and reveals a few other new Pokemon like Galarian Linoone, Obstagoon, and Sirfetch'd.
Pokemon Sword and Shield has been out for quite a while now, but these Galarian forms are just making their way to Niantic's mobile game. They're sure to mix up the meta (and give people some more stuff to catch).

Now that we've gotten our first look at some Galarian Pokemon, what are the ones that have been confirmed thus far? Here's what's been spotted so far on Reddit:

Participating in this challenge might require that you purchase a ticket in the shop if you haven't completed the previous four Throwback challenges; it will cost you $7.99 plus any taxes or fees according to the game's official website. On the upside, purchasing that ticket will give you access to all four previous Throwback events, and if you have already done them will give you access to alternate rewards. Either way, you'll be able to complete this challenge at your own pace.
These new additions are certainly welcomed by Trainers who are looking for more fun in Pokemon GO. If you haven't yet tried this awesome AR app, you can pick it up on Google Play for Android and the App Store for iOS.
