Galarian Starters are coming to Pokémon GO, along with a new Dragon so rare that it may be a while before you see it. The Galar rollout begins with the new GO All Out event.
Here's what's happening for the GO All Out event in Pokémon GO:
- Date and time: Tuesday, September 3, at 10:00 a.m. to Tuesday, September 10, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. local time
- New Pokémon: We have a generation rollout! Gone are the early days of the game where we'd get a full region drop, but we're still getting a nice start with Galar as well as Shiny releases for Galarian species we've already seen. The Galarian Starters (Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble) will all debut along with their evolutions (Thwackey, Rillaboom, Raboot, Cinderace, Drizzile, and Inteleon). We're also getting the new draconic pseudo-Legendary Dreepy and its evolutions Drakloak and Dragapult. Knowing how Niantic does things, Dreepy will be quite a rare encounter.
