Latest Pokemon GO datamine hints at Season 12 and its offerings

Pokemon GO Season 12 is right around the corner, and speculations are rife regarding what will be on offer. Niantic has already stated that Gen IX Paldean Starters (Sprigatito, Fuecoco, or Quaxly) will debut in-game in September 2023 with the beginning of the new Season. The latest batch of Pokemon GO datamine, revealed by well-known PokeMiners, provided a glimpse at what lies ahead for trainers.

According to the datamine, the Season 12 adventure will revolve around the player's choice of Paldea starters. The branched questline will provide them with an in-depth look at the Pokemon and its evolutions. Apart from that, a new Master Ball research will reportedly arrive in the upcoming Season.
