After numerous leaks, Pokémon Go developer Niantic has finally lifted the lid on the game’s highly-anticipated next season, Max Out, which adds more Gen 8 creatures and the huge new Dynamax feature.
Gen 8 Starter Pokémon that debuted in Pokémon Sword and Shield will join Pokémon Go at the beginning of the next season. This includes Grass-type monkey Grookey, Fire-type rabbit Scorbunny, Water-type frog thing Sobble, plus Dragon-type Dreepy and the Stonehenge-esque Stonjourner (which, excitingly for UK players, will be a regional exclusive).
Already-released Gen 8 Pokémon Skwovet and Wooloo will become available in their Shiny versions, meanwhile.
