Niantic revealed the details of Pokémon GO season 18, titled Power and Prowess, which takes place from March 4 to June 3, 2025. The highlight is Kubfu's debut, along with its decisive scam and Urshifu Evolutions. In addition, the update features new legendary Pokémon, special events and important changes in Android devices support.
Kubfu and the challenges of the new season
Players will have access to the Special Power and Procurement survey, which will be available for free between March 5 and June 3. Upon completion, they will be able to find Kubfu Dinamax and other special Pokémon. Already the paid version of the research, available from 5 to 10 March, guarantees an extra meeting with Kubfu, making it possible to collect its two evolved forms.
In addition to the new Wushu Pokémon, the season brings Raikou, Entei and Suicune Dinamax, which will be available in Max battles throughout the season. In addition, Machamp Gigamax debuts in the game and players will be able to challenge him in the Gigamax battles. Continuing with the additions of the Galar region, players will also be able to capture Nickit and Thievul.
One of the most anticipated findings is the chance to find Charcadet brilliant for the first time. In addition, the extraordinary discovery will bring meetings with Marowak de Alola, Mawile, Druddiss, Jangmo-O and Frigibax. During the period, several Pokémon will also be available in nature and eggs.
News in the game mechanics
Two new features come to improve the players' experience. Now it will be possible to share favorite routes through a six -character code, allowing friends and the community to explore the best routes together.
Another improvement is the scheduling of Gigamax king and battles, allowing players to confirm their participation and receive notifications moments before the event, facilitating the organization to face collective challenges.
