Pokémon First Found in Paldea Debut in Pokémon GO

Enjoy event bonuses, Timed Research, Special Research, and more as you adventure with Pokémon first discovered in the Paldea region!

After a successful Pokémon GO Fest 2023, Trainers now have an opportunity to add some entries to their Paldean Pokédex with the Pokémon GO event A Paldean Adventure. From September 5, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. to September 10, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. local time, Pokémon originally discovered in the Paldea region will be making their Pokémon GO debuts. For the first time, you can add Sprigatito, Floragato, Meowscarada, Fuecoco, Crocalor, Skeledirge, Quaxly, Quaxwell, Quaquaval, Lechonk, and Oinkologne to your Pokédex. And if you just can’t get enough of the Hog Pokémon, Lechonk, complete a Collection Challenge to earn Stardust and additional encounters with Lechonk!

Enjoy quadruple XP and quadruple Stardust for catching Pokémon, and PokéStops may turn gold without the use of a Golden Lure Module.
