Exciting times are ahead for Pokémon GO players, as developer Niantic has teased significant updates that promise to transform the game. The latest announcements include the addition of Morpeko, a Pokémon known for its unique form-changing ability, and hints at the potential introduction of the Dynamax and Gigantamax mechanics from Pokémon Sword and Shield. These mechanics, which allow Pokémon to grow massively in size and boost their stats, were originally exclusive to the Galar region, sparking speculation among fans about the upcoming season's focus on Galar Pokémon.
"Coming soon: Morpeko will charge into Pokémon GO, changing the way you battle! Certain Pokémon—like Morpeko—will be able to change form in battle by using a Charged Attack, unleashing new possibilities for you and your battle team," Niantic announced. The upcoming season is set to bring "big changes, big battles, and…big Pokémon," suggesting a major overhaul in gameplay dynamics. Although specifics remain under wraps, the community is buzzing with anticipation for these "hungry" and "big" changes expected to roll out in September.
The introduction of Morpeko has led fans to speculate about the addition of other Pokémon like Mimikyu and Aegislash, as well as more innovative mechanics. While the Dynamax and Gigantamax features in Sword and Shield were limited to Power Spots, it's unclear if Pokémon GO will adopt a similar approach. With the current Shared Skies season ending on September 3, excitement is building around the possibility of a Galar-themed season. However, these are just speculations, and more details are expected as we approach the new season.
In other Pokémon GO news, players have until August 20 at 8 pm local time to catch the limited-time 2024 Pokémon World Championships "Snorkeling Pikachu." This special Pikachu variant can be encountered in one-star raids or through field research tasks, with the rare chance of finding a Shiny version. Meanwhile, the Welcome Party Special Research tasks continue to be available, providing new trainers with rewards for teaming up with others. However, trainers below Level 15 will need to level up to participate in the Welcome Party.
