  "account": "The world is marking the 30th anniversary of Pokémon, and if you are still playing the mobile game Pokémon Go, one of the original 151 Pokémon, Charmander, is back with a fresh accessory. Before an official announcement on X, Pokémon Go players can get a special version of Charmander wearing goggles by redeeming a Pokémon Go code on the game's website. To obtain this unique Charmander, players must visit the website, sign in to their account, and input the code \"0004POKEMONGO\". Following the code entry, players will need to complete a series of activities: catching 10 Pokémon, catching 20 Pokémon, using 5 berries to catch Pokémon, and making 10 Nice Throws. These tasks are relatively straightforward and should not pose a significant challenge for dedicated Pokémon Go players. The event is limited-time and tied to the Pokémon Horizons: The Series anime and will expire on September 22. The goggles seen on the special Charmander are actually belonging to Professor Friede.
