Pokémon Go's new season focuses on Alola Sun fresh species already teased. News by Tom Phillips Deputy Editor Updated on 28 Feb 2022 Pokémon Go's next in-game season begins tomorrow, 1st March, and focuses on the Hawaii-inspired region of Alola. This is the area featured in the seventh generation 3DS games Pokémon Sun and Moon, which saw players explore an archipelago of islands and snaffle up a suitably sun-drenched menagerie of creatures. Alolan forms of existing Pokémon have been available in Pokémon Go for some time, though this season should see many more become available. Here's a teaser, hinting at what to expect: Watch on YouTube As you might expect, this includes Alola's three Starters: Grass-type owl Rowlett, fire cat Litten and ridiculous seal Popplio. Commonly-seen creatures Pikipek and Rockruff have already been teased, suggesting we'll also see them tomorrow, alongside Dragon-type Jangmo-o and Legendary creature Tapu Koko. It may look spindly, but its neck muscles are heavy-duty. It can peck at a tree 16 times per second! Any idea which Pokémon this could be? #SeasonOfAlola pic.twitter.com/hB5Wtl21vG- Pokémon GO (@PokemonGoApp) February 27, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
