Introduction

After being teased with an event involving being able to ‘sink [our] two front teeth’ into it, we can now reveal it is a special Bidoof Breakout Event! The meme, the legend, the icon, Bidoof is getting their very own event.

‘Trainers,

Bidoof are coming. We have no idea where they’re coming from or what their aim is, but during the Bidoof Breakout event starting Friday, June 25, 2021, Bidoof will be appearing more often in the wild, they might know attacks they can’t normally learn, and Shiny Bidoof will be making its Pokémon GO debut! How many Bidoof will you catch? When will it end? Read on for more details. Good luck—you’re going to need it.’

Special Attacks

On certain days of the event, Bidoof you encounter will know attacks that they normally cannot learn.

On Thursday, July 1, 2021, from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time, you can use a Charged TM to teach Bidoof any of these attacks. After the event, you can use an Elite Charged TM to do the same.

During each of the times listed below, you can encounter Bidoof that know the following attacks:

  • Shadow Ball: From Friday, June 25, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. to Saturday, June 26, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. local time
  • Thunderbolt: From Sunday, June 27, 2021, at 12:00 a.m. to Monday, June 28, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. local time
  • Ice Beam: From Tuesday, June 29, 2021, at 12:00 a.m. to Wednesday, June 30, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. local time
  • Evolve Bidoof anytime during the event to get a Bibarel that knows Hyper Beam. Bibarel is often a spice pick in PvP, and it was a popular choice during the Silph Arena’s Ferocious Cup.
