With Pokemon Go Fest 2022 in the rearview and the Season Of Go winding down, Niantic has announced details on the upcoming Season of Light, the next major seasonal event for the smash-hit mobile game.
The Season of Light will begin September 1 at 10 AM local time and run until December 1 at 10 AM local time. The event will introduce Cosmog, the Nebula Pokemon from the Alolan region, allowing players to encounter and catch it for the first time.
Seasonal perks available throughout the three-month event will include the following:
The Pokemon available to catch will also change worldwide, with species changing depending on specific areas and regions around the world. The wild Pokemon pool during the Season of Light, grouped by environment, looks like this:

The addition of Cosmog could signal the eventual arrival of two more Legendary Pokemon, as Cosmog evolves into Cosmoem, which then eventually evolves into the Legendary Pokemon of Alola--Pokemon Sun's Solgaleo and Pokemon Moon's Lunala. Neither of those Pokemon have been mentioned for Pokemon Go as of this writing.
The Season of Light is the latest in-game event announced for Pokemon Go, but it is not the only date marked on the game's calendar. Niantic recently confirmed the dates of the next four Pokemon Go Community Days, including another Community Day Classic on November 5.
