All shows to be held at night, so you can enjoy the Pokémon fun without the scorch of the sun.

Visitors to the site of the Pikachu Outbreak get a special hello from the Pokémon star himself!
The Pokémon will be staying up late this year so you can bask in their adorableness while staying out of the scorching sun.
The city of Yokohama adds an awesome, eight-meter (26.3-foot) tall attraction to convince people to come down from Tokyo for the afternoon.
In previous years, the famous and adorable Pokémon went to sleep when the sun went down, but this time they’re staying up late to party!
Special after-dark Pokémon parade means fans will want to stick around all day to see the 1,500-plus Pikachus.
Pokémon in the sky in Yokohama!
