As A Paldean Adventure event comes online in Pokemon GO around the world, trainers are finally getting a look at everything that is on offer with the first Gen IX event of this month. The occasion marks the debut of not only all the Paldea Starters (Sprigatito, Quaxly, Fuecoco) and their evolutions but also other Gen IX Pocket Monsters like Lechonk and Oinkologne. To that effect, players will get to complete event-themed Field Research tasks and Collection Challenges.
A Paldean Adventure event will run from Tuesday, September 5, 2023, at 10 am local time to Sunday, September 10, at 10 am local time. This provides you with a little less than a week to enjoy everything that Niantic is offering with the occasion.
The event also marks the debut of the season-exclusive Special Research revolving around the Gen IX starters. Our A Paldean Adventure Special Research guide will help you have an easier time navigating the various tasks.
