Coming hot off the heels of the events surrounding Pokémon Go Fest 2021, Hoopa and its antics are continuing into a new season of content for the mobile app. Dubbed the Season of Mischief, trainers will complete Special Research objectives to find the smaller version of the legendary djinn, Confined Hoopa.
Starting on September 1 and running until December 1, the Special Research story in Pokémon Go surrounding Hoopa’s exploits will begin. Throughout the Season of Mischief more will be revealed about the Pokémon as more tasks become available. As research tasks are completed, the Mischief Pokémon will become available to catch. However, Hoopa is not going to be available for transfer to Pokémon Home or other games in the series for the time being.
Coming shortly after, on September 5, is the start of some strange phenomenon around the world. Alternating throughout the day will be distributions of psychic-type or dark- and ghost-type Pokémon. Trainers will be able to find some of these Pokémon and more throughout the day in the wild or attracted with lures: Exeggecute, Jynx, Natu, Spoink, Girafarig, Beldum, Alolan Rattata, Poochyena, Duskull, Purrloin, Sableye, Carvanha, and Drifloon.
Also available in the event:
- Collection Challenges featuring Pokémon attracted to incense
- Double candy for Pokémon transfers
- A free incense bundle in the shop
- Field Research task rewarding Rare Candy and various kinds of Pokéballs
More events and activities are planned through to November, with the next confirmed dates listed as September 8 and 21.
