Niantic and The Pokemon Company will launch the new Pokemon GO season 'A New Step' on June 2 at 10:00 JST. The season introduces a limited-time progress track called GO Pass, with a free and paid Deluxe tier. New Dynamax Pokemon including Electabuzz, Magikarp, and Feebas will appear in Max Battles. The GO Battle League returns with themed cups, and Field Research Breakthroughs offer encounters with Dragonite, Deino, Honedge, Jangmo-o, Indeedee, and Crabrawler.
The new season follows the established three-month cadence tied to real-world seasons. Mega Raid Day details for the first Mega Evolution Pokemon of the season will be announced later on social media. The GO Pass track requires players to clear Pass Tasks for GO Points to raise rank and unlock rewards, with the Deluxe version offering better loot and faster progression. Egg pools shift as well: 2 km eggs include Exeggcute, Corphish, and Chingling; 5 km eggs include Riolu, Mantyke, and Flabebe; Adventure Sync rewards include Machop, Sableye, and Budew; and 7 km eggs feature Alolan Diglett, Galarian Corsola, and Galarian Darumaka. Shiny variants may appear for most listed Pokemon.
