笔辞办é尘辞苍 Go’s next season of content, dubbed the Season of Light, launches Thursday, Sept. 1, and will welcome the Legendary 笔辞办é尘辞苍 Cosmog to Niantic’s mobile game. With Cosmog’s arrival comes a themed Special Research story, where players will learn more about and bond with the Nebula 笔辞办é尘辞苍.

The Season of Light will run in 笔辞办é尘辞苍 Go from Sept. 1 to Dec. 1. In the month of September, players will have the ability to battle Deoxys and Yveltal in raids, as well as other as-yet unrevealed Legendary 笔辞办é尘辞苍. Players can also expect multiple themed events, including the return of 笔辞办é尘辞苍 Go’s Fashion Week and Psychic Spectacular, as well as limited research focused on Inkay. On Saturday, Sept. 3, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time, Inkay-inspired field research and Shiny Inkay will come to the game.

Beyond Cosmog, Niantic did not reveal which new 笔辞办é尘辞苍 will be added to 笔辞办é尘辞苍 Go in the coming months. But The 笔辞办é尘辞苍 Company teased Cosmog’s arrival back in July, as part of the game’s sixth anniversary, and similarly teased the likes of Mimikyu, Vivillon, Turtonator, and Lycanroc’s Dusk Form, all of which have yet to be added to 笔辞办é尘辞苍 Go.

Here’s a preview of what’s coming to 笔辞办é尘辞苍 Go in September 2022 and throughout the Season of Light. Keep in mind that new mainline 笔辞办é尘辞苍 games 笔辞办é尘辞苍 Scarlet and 笔辞办é尘辞苍 Violet will be released on Nintendo Switch in November, and will likely inspire something from the Paldean region.
