Pokémon GO has always had region-specific pokémon, but with this new event the whole world gets the chance to catch them.
Niantic has announced the latest event for hit mobile game Pokémon GO, and it celebrates World Tourism Day on 26 September.
When the event goes live Mime Jr. will be available in 5km eggs in Europe and for the first time you might even be lucky enough to get a shiny version.
The event will also give players the chance to catch a shiny Zangoose but, sadly, Seviper can be found only in the U.S. at the moment.
In celebration of World Tourism Day and in partnership with the United Nations and the World Tourism Organization (UNTWO), you can look forward to an exciting few days of the first-ever World Tourism Day event!https://t.co/dc9TMJNOgs pic.twitter.com/kedypMGsy9

The event will also bring other changes, including earning a quarter less Stardust when trading, double experience points for spinning pokéstops, and a themed set of field research tasks for you to complete.
Here is a list of all the pokémon that will come out of 5km eggs, however these are still region-specific, so don’t be expecting any from the U.S. or Japan:
Chatot
Corsola
Durant
Farfetch’d
Heatmor
Heracross
Illumise
Kangaskhan
Lunatone
Mime Jr.
Pachirisu
Panpour
Pansage
Pansear
Relicanth
Seviper
Solrock
Tauros
Torkoal
Tropius
Volbeat
Zangoose
There is also a new shirt with the United Nations World Tourism Organisation logo on it, but we’re not sure if it’s available in Europe.
The event starts at 1pm local time everywhere and lasts 26 September up until 1 October.
