While Niantic only mentioned one holiday Pokemon in the December 12, 2016 update, there are actually two available in Pokémon GO right now. In addition to holiday Pikachu, people can also acquire holiday Raichu. If a player collects enough candies to evolve a holiday Pikachu, the ensuing Raichu will also be wearing the same hat.
