Oricorio is making its Pokemon Go debut as part of the Festival of Colors event. There are four styles available, with each one only appearing in specific regions around the world (we’ve got an explainer here).

The only Oricorio style that you need to catch to complete the Festival of Colors Collection Challenge is the one that spawns in your location, so you don’t need to worry about finding all four styles right now.
