Pokemon Go Unleashes Kangaskhan and Other Rare Pokemon on Select European Cities

A whole mess of rare Pokemon are about to be running wild through Europe in Pokemon Go.

Pokemon Go confirmed that this rare Pokemon, which is typically only found in Australia, will appear in select European cities beginning this weekend. Unown and other Pokemon "rarely seen in Europe" will also be part of the event.

The new Pokemon Go event is a mea culpa of sorts for the cancellation of several Safari Zone events. The Safari Zones were to take place at select Unibail-Rodamco shopping centers, but Pokemon Go cancelled them in the aftermath of Pokemon Go Fest. As part of the makeup event, all Uniball-Rodamco shopping centers will have their PokeStops lured on the weekends of August 12th and August 19th.

Interestingly, the event includes a lot more cities than the locations where the cancelled Safari Zone events were to take place. Fourteen countries will have at least one city invaded by Kangaskhan and other Pokemon in the coming weeks. The cities included in the event are as follows:

• Vienna, Austria
• Prague, Czech Republic
• Copenhagen, Denmark
• Helsinki, Finland
• Dijon, France
• Lille, France
• Lyon, France
• Marseille, France
• Nice, France
• Paris, France
• Rennes, France
• Berlin, Germany
• Bochum, Germany
• Gera, Germany
• Leipzig, Germany
• Mönchengladbach, Germany

• Bratislava, Slovakia
• Badajoz, Spain
• Barcelona, Spain
• Cádiz, Spain
• Madrid, Spain
• Sevilla, Spain
• San Sebastián, Spain
• Valencia, Spain

• Leidschendam, The Netherlands
• Zoetermeer, The Netherlands
• Belfast, United Kingdom
• Birmingham, United Kingdom
• Cardiff, United Kingdom
• Glasgow, United Kingdom
• London, United Kingdom
• Manchester, United Kingdom

The unofficial event will run through August 21st, so players in Europe should have plenty of time to get to one of these locations and fill out their PokeDex.
