As we find more Pokémon originally discovered in the Sinnoh region, we want to take the time to celebrate one of them today! Trainers, which of these Pokémon first discovered in the Sinnoh region do you want to celebrate today?

Bidoof has nerves of steel. Nothing can perturb it. No matter what obstacles you might face today, be like Bidoof and persevere through it, Trainers! #MotivationMonday

Time for a Bidoof AR challenge! Can you take an AR photo of Bidoof in its natural habitat? (Hint: It constantly gnaws on logs and rocks and nests alongside water.) Once you’ve captured this photo, share it in the comments below or post it with #BidoofDay!
