The world is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Pokémon, and if you’re still playing the franchise’s popular mobile game Pokémon Go, one of the original 151 Pokémon is back with a fresh accessory.
As spotted on Reddit before being officially announced on X, Pokémon Go players can get a special version of Charmander wearing goggles by redeeming a Pokémon Gocode on the game’s website. Simply go to the website, sign in to your account, and put in the code “0004POKEMONGO” to start a series of activities that will eventually lead to an encounter with this special Charmander.Recommended deals for you
