Pokémon Go Tales of Transformation season release date
The new season goes live on Sept. 2 at 10am local time and will continue until Dec. 2 at 10 am local time. Lasting for three months, there will be plenty of time for you to explore all the seasonal content that will be released gradually during fall and early winter.
Pokémon Go Tales of Transformation season highlights
The new season will be centered around Kaldeo, who will be able to transform into its Resolute form after a season-long journey. All players will begin with a Kaldeo encounter (available to those who have already caught a Kaldeo). The encounter will be part of the Tales of Transformation Special Research that will be live throughout the season.
New Mega evolutions and Dynamax Pokémon
The upcoming season will witness three new Mega debuts: Camerupt, Metagross, and Sharpedo. You can challenge them on Mega Raid Days to catch them and add to your collection. It's not just Megas, as you can witness new evolutions of Dipplin, Hydrapple, and more, who will be making their Pokémon Go debuts during the season.
The new season will see the emergence of new Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon. You can challenge and catch Gigantamax Garbodor, Duraludon, and more during the season.
New level cap
Starting Oct. 15, you'll be able to increase your level cap from 50 to 80, allowing you to increase your grind and get fresh motivation to expand your current in-game collection. If you're yet to hit the level 50 cap, the next month and a half will be a good time to focus on your grind.
