Pokémon GO - Community Day
For some time following the Pokémon GO Community Day today, some PokéStops will start to be unable to be spun. If you interact with them, you will find the Pokémon Kecleon on the PokéStops. This is the first appearance of Kecleon. Currently it's unclear how it will appear after the time period but we'll post more as they come
At present, due to a bug preventing Kecleon appearing with a gender, it cannot be sent to Pokémon HOME
