Pokémon Go is finally expanding and adding a few creatures from Pokémon Gold and Silver to its lineup, the company announced on Monday.

While Monday’s expansion doesn’t add the full roster of second generation Pokémon many players were expecting, developer Niantic is adding Pichu, Togepi, and other unspecified monsters that you can find by hatching eggs in the online game.

According to posts on Reddit and Twitter, players have also hatched Cleffa, Magby, Elekid, and Igglybuff in the game.

For a limited time, players can also find Pikachu rocking a red Santa hat in the wild. The special event begins today and ends December 29.

“As we race toward 2017, we can’t help but feel grateful for the support and reaction the Pokémon GO community has given us, and we’re delighted to start rolling out select Pokémon for them to hatch,” Niantic product director Kei Kawai said in a statement.

“We’re also looking forward to celebrating the season with our community by introducing a Pikachu wearing a festive hat, providing Trainers the opportunity to get out and explore their neighborhoods with friends and family as they gather for the holidays.”

The announcement follows news of Pokémon Go’s partnerships to turn thousands of Sprint and Starbucks locations into PokéStops across the country.
