Although Niantic's announcement of the new "Pokémon Go" season Precious Paths didn't move the needle, fans have one big celebration to look forward to during the monthslong event that runs Dec. 2, 2025, to March 3, 2026. Toward the end of the season, the developers will hold Pokémon Go's second-largest event - Pokémon Go Tour. The event focuses on one region, and it's an excellent opportunity for fans to grab shiny variants that they have missed out on.

It is exhausting seeing how many aspects of the experience people try to exploit as part of some money-making scheme. The cards are obviously the most prominent example of this, as scalpers and the content creation mill have turned the act of buying and selling packs into a lucrative business at the expense of players being able to derive any joy from the hobby .

Pokémon Legends: Z-A hadn't been out even a few hours before the tweets started rolling in: Shiny pokémon don't despawn. You can walk away from a shiny, and it'll still be there when you come back. To shiny collectors, this is big news. In other Pokémon games, like Scarlet and Violet, pokémon despawn after you get a certain distance away from them or trigger a loading screen.

Eevee Community Day Classic will be held on July 5 and 6 from 2-5 p.m. local time, featuring increased Eevee spawns and shiny rates.
