In the Pokemon GO Tales of Transformation reveal video, you can see the silhouette of Impidimp around the 1:07 mark of the clip prancing about in a forest. The tease was further cemented when Niantic later posted another video for Wild Area 2025 showcasing the Dark- and Fairy-type symbols on screen.

The Wily Pokemon has a vibrant and gremlin-like design, with its bright red/pink hue popping off the screen. Its first evolution Morgrem keeps a similar color palette, with only the addition of green. With Grimmsnarl, the color combination and the design change to a more ominous and threatening one.

With Impidimp's debut, Grimmsnarl can have a decent impact on Pokemon GO's battle scene. The Bulk Up Pokemon also has a Gigantamax form, which will surely arrive sometime later.

Along with it, several new Mega Evolutions are debuting over the next couple of months, too. You can check out the seasonal rotations for egg hatches, Research Breakthrough encounters, and more.

Furthermore, Niantic provided Pokemon GO trainers with an opportunity to get over 7 million XP through the XP Celebration Timed Research. This is in view of the impending trainer level cap increase.
