Beyond February’s Community Day, 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year for Pokémon GO as the franchise approaches its 30th anniversary. Past leaks have hinted at unreleased Pokémon appearing in the game’s files, including Gen 9 legendaries like Ogerpon and Terapagos, suggesting big additions may be on the horizon.
The game is also expected to align with broader franchise celebrations, potentially tying into the reveal of Pokémon’s tenth generation. With the developer teasing that 2026 could be Pokémon GO’s “best year yet,” players have plenty of reason to stay alert for surprise events and milestone content.
