Pokemon Go Forever Forward season: Dates & time
The Forever Forward season will run from Tuesday, June 2, 2026, at 10:00 AM until Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at 10:00 AM local time.
This follows directly from the Memories in Motion season, which brought Gigantamax Pikachu to the game and debuted Flittle, Espathra, Dottler, and Orbeetle.
Pokemon debuts
Since the Max Out season introduced both Dynamax and Gigantamax forms to Pokemon Go, new creatures with these capabilities have been making their way into the game.
The first additions of the season will take place during the Go Fest, when Mewtwo debuts its two Mega Evolutions, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y.
Later in the season, Mega Raichu X, Mega Raichu Y, and Mega Skarmory, introduced during Pokemon Legends Z-A, will also arrive in Niantic’s game.
But that’s not all, as Dynamax Electabuzz, Magikarp, and Feebas will also be added to the game, with more to come, surely.
Big returns
Several fan-favorite Legendaries will return to the game. Some, such as Reshiram, Zekrom, and Necrozma, will do so in Raid battles. In contrast, others, such as Lugia, Ho-Oh, and Latias, will do so through the monthly GO Pass.
NIANTICDaily Discoveries
Starting with the Memories in Motion season, Pokemon Go introduced Daily Discoveries, a rotating feature that assigns specific bonuses to each day of the week. These perks run from 12:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. local time – unless stated otherwise.
Here are the changes that will be applied during the current season:
SUNDAY | Scenic Sunday | - More Pokemon will appear while following a Route. Incense will attract even more Pokemon on Routes. |
MONDAY | - Power Spots will refresh more frequently. | |
TUESDAY | Showcase Tuesday | - PokeStop Showcases will be active on Tuesdays, featuring up to 20 different categories. |
*Max Battles will be available from 6 – 9 PM local time. Power Spots availability will be limited outside of Max Mondays and Max Battle Days.
Keep in mind that Daily Discoveries will not be available during the week of the Global Go Fest, Go Wild Area, and Go Tour events.
