On August 7th, 2021, five new Pokémon Utility Hole Covers, or PokéLids (Pokéfuta ポケふた) were unveiled in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The five new covers feature: Bossgodora, Alolan Dugtrio, Duraludon, Sirnight, Lunatone, Yamirami, Tropius and Toroggon . They feature imagery drawn from the various landscapes in Kitakyushu City and will be installed in the city. Pictures from the press release have been added to an Imageboard thread.


Each PokéLids is an original design and each is unique. The PokéLids will continue to be installed for years to come. More than 190 PokéLids have been installed already in locations throughout Japan and they will serve as an opportunity for many people throughout Japan and around the world to learn about the charms of Pokémon and Kitakyushu City.


The PokéLids that are installed will gradually become PokéStops for the location-based game Pokémon GO for smartphones.
