Facebook's filter allows users to take control of Pikachu's powerful Z-Move. When the filter is on, Pikachu is seen hanging out on the screen with the user. Once the user opens their mouth or strikes a pose, Pikachu busts out its Z-Move along with an impressive lightning display.
Snapchatters and Pokémon fans who animate their selfies with the Lens will first see Pichu’s ears, nose, and pink cheeks decorate their face. Opening their mouth will trigger Pichu’s voice. If a user activates the Lens seven times, Pikachu will jump into the screen and strike a pose. An additional seven uses of the Lens will unlock the appearance of Alolan Raichu.


LINE offers two filters for the discerning Pokémon fan. One features Pikachu and Alolan Raichu, and the other features Pikachu, Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio.
When Pokémon fans use the Facebook Camera and choose the Pikachu filter, they will first see the iconic Pokémon in the corner of the screen. Then, they can open their mouth to activate Pikachu’s powerful Gigavolt Havoc Z-Move. LINE users can activate the camera function to choose from two Pokémon filters- one with Pikachu and Alolan Raichu and the other with Pikachu, Popplio, Rowlet, and Litten. The filter can be used while talking and chatting in the LINE app.


Both filters are available now. The Facebook filter will be available for about two months, and the LINE filters will be around for about a month. You can find the Facebook filter by pulling up the app's camera—or just follow this link to directly access the electrifying Pikachu action! So act fast and start sharing those pictures! We can't wait to see your new look!|Pokémon Company}}
