Pokemon GO officially showcased the new Journey to Paldea event through the game's official social media channels. As the name would imply, Journey to Paldea puts the focus on the Spain-themed region featured in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, with increased spawns for Pokemon found in Paldea. Pokemon GO will add three new Pokemon during Journey to Paldea, with Nacli joining the game along with its evolutions in Naclstack and Garganacl, alongside special three-star raids for Paldean Tauros, Bombirdier, and Dondozo. Pokemon GO's Journey to Paldea event will begin on December 2 and will run through December 9.
Pokemon GO's Journey to Paldea will offer plenty of chances to capture Paldean Pokemon already featured within the game. Each day of the event will feature increased spawn rates for different Pokemon found in the region, with popular Pokemon like Larvitar, Bagon, and Misdreavus included, among others. Pokemon GO is also boosting the spawn rates of the shiny versions of Larvitar and Bagon during the event, with the two alternating boosted days throughout the duration of Journey to Paldea.
The addition of Nacli to Pokemon GO with Journey to Paldea comes as the list of remaining Pokemon has dwindled significantly. Pokemon GO now has fewer than 100 Pokemon remaining to add to the game until the full roster of 1,025 creatures is included within the mobile game. Pokemon GO has also seen leaks about several Pokemon planned to join the game's roster, including multiple Pokemon like Ogerpon and Pecharunt featured within Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's DLC. Pokemon GO fans should have plenty to look forward to with the launch of Precious Paths next week.
