Pokémon Go Espurr counters, weaknesses and moveset explained Capture the first Gen 6 Pokémon released in Pokémon Go! Guide by Lottie Lynn Guides Editor Updated on 1 Dec 2020 Espurr, the restraint Pokémon, and it's evolution, Meowstic, are the first two Pokémon from Gen 6 to be released in Pokémon Go. Defeating this cat-inspired Pokémon in a raid will allow you to start the Gen 6 section of your Pokédex with a bit of a fanfare. Espurr is really cute as well! Since Espurr is a one-star raid boss, you'll be able to easily defeat it by yourself. Still, it's always a good idea to know your opponent's weaknesses and counters before beginning a battle. Don't forget that you can use Remote Raid passes to partake in raids from home!

Everything you need to know about Espurr From Saturday, 28th November to Monday, 30th November 2020, Niantic hinted at Espurr's impending arrival on the official Pokémon Go Twitter page. These hints took the form of five short videos of a Pokémon gym containing an egg. You can find a clue hidden within each video, such as the psychic-type symbol appearing in the background, which will eventually lead you to the true identity of the Pokémon inside the egg. Another incoming message! Trainers, it looks like we've stumbled upon some mysterious Raid Eggs. Can you help us make sense of all this? #PokemonGO pic.twitter.com/NK1SmLrRwD- Pokémon GO (@PokemonGoApp) November 28, 2020 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

The third video, however, gave the game away (a little too early if you ask me...) by including a plane flying a flag with the number 677 on it. Just in-a new message. What do you think it means? #PokemonGO pic.twitter.com/Z3yzuIzsz7- Pokémon GO (@PokemonGoApp) November 29, 2020 To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Manage cookie settings 677 is Espurr's number in the National Pokédex and, from that moment on, everyone knew that Espurr and it's evolution, Meowstic, would soon be released into Pokémon Go. This debut happened on Tuesday, 1st December, which was the same day as the release of the Season of Celebration. Espurr and Meowstic are both inspired by two very different cats. Espurr and Meowstic are good cats. The first is the Scottish Fold, a breed of domestic cat, which are known for having ears that, in a foldlike manner, point down towards their head and, like a Scottish Fold cat, both Espurr and Meowstic have folded ears. The second is the Nekomata, which is a type of cat yōkai from Japanese folklore. It was believed that, when a cat reached a certain age, it would transform into a Nekomata and gain psychic powers. Good luck adding Espurr and Meowstic to your Pokédex!
