5 upcoming Pokemon GO Adventures Abound season events you should not miss out on

With the conclusion of the Hidden Gems season, Pokemon GO developers announced that the Adventures Abound season will run from September 1, 2023, to December 1, 2023. Many exciting events await players before it ends; a notable one is the introduction of the Paldean Pocket Monsters. It is by far the biggest surprise, but there are several other exciting events lined up that you should not miss out on. Many things await, from fresh content rolling out to attending City Safari in Seoul, South Korea.

Niantic does bring excitement to the community by introducing new monsters. Trainers can use them to enter the Pokestop Showcase (if they can), participate in the GO Battle League, defend the Gym, and more.

We don't have solid information about all the important events that will be held in November and December as Niantic has a habit of releasing events' details when the dates get closer. With that said, this article highlights five Pokemon GO occasions to look forward to in Adventures Abound season.
