New Pokémon with a nut for a head is a big mystery in 'Pokémon Go'
Something new is émonwithanutforaheadisabigmysteryinPokéhappening in Pokémon Go.
A mysterious critter has appeared in the game, and it's something Pokémon fans have never seen before. It was first discovered when a programming-savvy fan found an image and a reference to "Pokémon 891" in the game's code.
SEE ALSO:Pokémon fans are freaking out after realizing Venusaur is a frogThe newcomer has the body of a sheet-covered ghost and a nut -- the hardware, not the legume -- for a head, with one eye staring out of its central hole. It doesn't have a name and no one's been able to catch one (not exactly), but it's definitely appearing in the game now.
It's not that the unnamed Pokémon can'tbe caught, but when players do manage to snare one they're greeted with a surprise. The nut-headed critter transforms into Ditto, a shapeless purple blob Pokémon that is unique in that it doesn't evolve like others of its kind.
That's what multiple players have reported on the popular Pokémon Gosubreddit. The posts there also suggest that the new creature could be coming and going in waves, appearing in abundance for short periods of time before disappearing.
None of this is confirmed, mind you; it's all anecdotal at this point. All of the sightings seem to have a connection to Chikorita Community Day events that went down in the Asia Pacific and European regions. Official or not, the number of fans reporting in with similar stories suggests at least some of this is right.
The only word from inside the Pokémon camp so far is a tweet from Kento Suga, the global marketing lead for Pokémon Go. And his post only adds to the mystery. (You can see what the newcomer looks like in Suga's attached screenshot.)

What does all of this mean? No one knows yet. But it sure looks like Pokémon Gois cooking up a surprise.
