Niantic has announced the next phase for Pokemon Go after the Kanto Tour: The Season of Legends. The three-month-long celebrations will focus on the series’ most popular Legendary mon’, Trainers, as well as the debut of the Therian Formes.
Pokemon Go will shift away from celebrating Gen I starting in March and will honor the series’ favorite Legendaries for the next three months.
Season of Legends will also mark the debut of Therian Formes for the Forces of Nature trio: Landorus, Thundurus, and Tornadus. Here is everything we know so far.
Pokemon Go Seasons of Legends date & start time
Season of Legends will officially kick off on March 1 at 8:00 AM local time and will run for a total of three months. The lengthy celebration will officially wrap up its final day on June 1 at 10:00 AM local time.
While Niantic hasn’t revealed their full plans for the 90-day festivities, they have hinted that players will get to encounter Legendary ‘mon as well as “Legendary Trainers.”
