Pokémon Go’s new Season of Light starts Sept. 1, brings Cosmog to the game
Pokémon Go’s next season of content, dubbed the Season of Light, launches Thursday, Sept. 1, and will welcome the Legendary Pokémon Cosmog to Niantic’s mobile game. With Cosmog’s arrival comes a themed Special Research story, where players will learn more about and bond with the Nebula Pokémon.
The Season of Light will run in Pokémon Go from Sept. 1 to Dec. 1. In the month of September, players will have the ability to battle Deoxys and Yveltal in raids, as well as other as-yet unrevealed Legendary Pokémon. Players can also expect multiple themed events, including the return of Pokémon Go’s Fashion Week and Psychic Spectacular, as well as limited research focused on Inkay. On Saturday, Sept. 3, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time, Inkay-inspired field research and Shiny Inkay will come to the game.
Beyond Cosmog, Niantic did not reveal which new Pokémon will be added to Pokémon Go in the coming months. But The Pokémon Company teased Cosmog’s arrival back in July, as part of the game’s sixth anniversary, and similarly teased the likes of Mimikyu, Vivillon, Turtonator, and Lycanroc’s Dusk Form, all of which have yet to be added to Pokémon Go.
Here’s a preview of what’s coming to Pokémon Go in September 2022 and throughout the Season of Light. Keep in mind that new mainline Pokémon games Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet will be released on Nintendo Switch in November, and will likely inspire something from the Paldean region.
