Pokémon GO has officially unveiled its next major seasonal update, titled Tales of Transformation, set to launch this fall. The new season promises to bring exciting additions, including new Mega Evolutions, Gigantamax forms, and a special Mythical Pokémon variant.
Closing the Galar Chapter
Niantic recently wrapped up a busy summer of events with the Max Finale, marking the end of the game’s year-long focus on the Galar region. Players saw the debut of Eternatus, along with the Crowned Sword and Shield forms of Zacian and Zamazenta. The introduction of Dynamax and Gigantamax mechanics also gave trainers a fresh twist on battles.
With Galar now stepping aside, Niantic is turning its attention to new Pokémon and transformations set to define the upcoming season.
Tales of Transformation: Key Details
The next season officially runs from September 2, 2025, through December 2, 2025. The teaser trailer showcased silhouettes of several anticipated Pokémon, giving fans a glimpse of what’s coming. Highlights include:
- Mega Metagross – a powerful Mega Evolution that is expected to become a top-tier option in raids and PvP.
- Gigantamax Eevee – one of the most iconic variants from Sword and Shield, finally making its way to Pokémon GO.
- Keldeo (Resolute Form) – a new variant of the Mythical Pokémon, offering players a fresh way to experience this fan-favorite fighter.
The trailer strongly suggests these Pokémon will roll out gradually over the course of the season, keeping the content cycle engaging for players.
Looking Ahead
Rumors have been circulating about even more additions, with ninth-generation Pokémon like Ogerpon, Terapagos, and Pecharunt speculated to arrive in future updates. Niantic has already confirmed Dondozo will make its debut in the upcoming Sunkissed Shores event, further connecting Pokémon GO to the latest mainline entries.
A Promising Fall for Trainers
With Metagross finally gaining its Mega form, Eevee showcasing its Gigantamax potential, and Keldeo taking on its Resolute Form, trainers will have plenty to work toward this fall. The Tales of Transformation season is shaping up to be a major content update, ensuring that Pokémon GO remains fresh and exciting as 2025 heads into its final months.
