Pokémon GO: Start of the joke season - all information about innovations & bonuses

Pokémon GO

"The strange events at the Pokémon Go Fest 2021 continue into the season of practical jokes," announced Niantic in a recent blog entry, confirming that the new season will begin on September 1st - and will run until December 1st. During the joke time you go in the footsteps of the pocket monster Hoopa, which you can meet, among other things, if you master the special research for this season: Misunderstood jokes.

"As Hoopa during the Pokémon Go Fest 2021 Legendary Pokémon in Pokémon Go has been summoned, the room was curved and the flow of time was disturbed. Thanks to Hoopa, even some Galar Pokémon have found their way into Pokémon GO, "write the developers. The special research is therefore available punctually for the start of the joke season on September 1st, and you can work on it until December 1st. In the course of the season, further parts of the special research are to be activated. This is how you can encounter a Hoopa (Banned) when you complete the tasks that will be available in Pokémon Go on September 5th. If you complete the special research, you will unlock a "special event" at the end of the season. Niantic has not yet given any further details. However, the joke Pokémon is probably the focus here as well.

In addition, on September 5th between 11 am and 5 pm there will be strange phenomena around the world, in which Hoopa apparently has a hand in it. Individual Pokémon of different types appear in the wilderness at different times on Sunday, such as psycho, ghost and dark - you lure them with smoke. You can find the schedule on the Niantic website. Furthermore, players can look forward to a collector's challenge with the Pokémon that will be attracted by Rauch during the event period.

For example, you will meet Shuppet and Mollimorba in the city, Schnuthelm in the forest, Kleinstein in the mountains and Krabby by the water. In addition, other monsters hatch from the individual eggs, including Ohrdoch, Jurob and Nidoran. During the joke time, a different Pokémon gets a WP boost every month if you trigger its Mega Evolution. September is Lahmus, October is Gengar, and November is Hundemon.

In addition, Ditto transforms into other types of Pokémon, including Traumato, Remoraid, and Nebulak. So it should be worth paying a visit to the smartphone adventure from September onwards.
