Pokémon Go's latest season will launch just in time for the holidays

• Pokémon Go's latest season, Precious Paths, is coming soon
• Arriving early next month it features new events focused on the Kalos region
• You'll also see the debut of new Pokémon such as Clobbopus and Gapploct

As we head into the holidays, things are getting colder across the less temperate regions. And with that comes a lot fewer reasons to go outside. Well, fortunately, that might just be fixed because Niantic's hit AR creature collector Pokémon Go has just announced the upcoming launch of their newest season!

Yes, come December 2nd, you'll be able to jump into Pokémon Go's latest major update with the release of Precious Paths. What's included? Well, to start the debut of new Pokémon such as Clobbopus and Grapploct, alongside many others.

As you might've guessed, the focus here is on the Kalos region from Pokémon X and Y, with numerous in-game and live events to take part in over the coming season. On top of that, you'll have the debuts of Dynamax Hitmonlee, Dynamax Hitmonchan and the utterly ridiculous Gigantamax Meowth. 

Path-finding

Well, new content is always nice, but what else is there? If you need another reason to get outside, then the paid Master Ball research will be one to keep an eye on. Maybe an early Christmas treat that offers a rare Master Ball as a reward will help you get your steps in this winter?

You'll also find that new Pokémon arrive in egg hatching (Cleffa, Audino and Beldum), while the Go Battle League will also make a return. And of course, there's the Precious Paths Special Research that you'll want to claim once it goes live on December 2nd.

And in the meantime, if you're looking for something new to tide you over ahead of the launch of Pokémon Go, Precious Paths, why not check out some of our features? This week, Ahead of the Game is digging into The Sims Labs: Town Stories to see just how well the new mobile spinoff of the hit franchise lands.
