Pokémon Go Plus + Features a Hidden Birthday Surprise Involving Pikachu

Everyone loves Pikachu, and imagine waking up to its cute voice on your birthday. Now, you can! The Pokémon Go Plus + device lets the famous yellow Pokémon sing to you on your big day, along with flashy effects.

Pikachu Sings for You

A nifty easter egg in the Go Plus + device does just that. A Reddit user, DowMad_, discovered this on July 26. On your birthday, the device’s alarm changes to Pikachu singing the birthday song. This comes with blinking yellow lights and ends with a colorful display.

How It Knows Your Birthday

You might wonder how it knows when to celebrate. It gets your birth date from your Pokémon Go or Sleep account. Remember, the Go Plus + works only with these apps.

The Go and Sleep apps have many easter eggs, but Pikachu’s birthday song is a gem. Kids will surely adore this feature.

More Than Just a Birthday Alarm

Introduced on July 14, the Pokémon Go Plus + links to both the Go and Sleep apps. It lets you catch Pokémon and track your sleep easily. But it does more. Pikachu doesn’t just sing on birthdays. It can also lull you to sleep or wake you up every day.

When you connect with the Sleep app, you grow your friendship with Pikachu. The more you snooze, the more tunes you unlock for alarms. Sleeping well might also unlock more Pokémon and complete your Sleep Pokédex.

Play and Sleep with Pokémon

Pairing the Go Plus + with the Pokémon Go app offers another kind of fun. Spin PokéStops and catch Pokémon like a sleeping Snorlax, all hands-free.
