During a subtle teaser in the August Pokemon Presents, it was revealed that several Scarlet & Violet creatures will be joining Pokemon Go in September 2023.
The just over 1000 Pokemon in the franchise have been slowly rolling over to Pokemon Go since its release in 2016, featuring tons of classics, fan favorites, and new additions thanks to recent games.
Now, just over nine months after the release of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, the Paldea Pokedex will be coming to Pokemon Go, with a short teaser showing off three obscured Pokemon that look a lot like Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly to us!
While there’s currently no confirmation regarding which Paldea Pokemon will be coming to Pokemon Go first, it seems safe to assume that the starter trio will be among the first to drop into the popular game.
This isn’t the first hint at Scarlet & Violet creatures coming to the mobile game – Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly also appeared in Pokemon Go’s seventh-anniversary artwork, which you can see above.
