The announcement also included the next season of Pokemon, where it was revealed that players will get the Pokemon Go Rising Heroes.

Niantic and The Pokemon Company have progressively added new species to Pokemon GO since its premiere in 2016, and at the event, Niantic officially revealed that additional Legendary Pokemon will be arriving at Pokemon Go with the next Rising Heroes event.

So, let's head over to the details of Pokemon Go Rising Heroes, its release, all pokemon including wild, evolutions, and eggs, along with seasonal rotations, events, bonuses more.

Pokemon Go Rising Heroes release date

The Rising Heroes is almost here in Pokémon Go, and with the update, players will be able to meet new Pokémon from the different areas of the game. Players will be able to accomplish numerous challenges to obtain rewards throughout the event, in addition to meeting new people from all over the world.

For all players, Season 10: Rising Heroes will begin on March 1, 2023, at 10 a.m. local time. It will last for three months, ending on June 1, 2023.

Once the new season of Pokemon Go goes live, Trainers will encounter the Pokemon mentioned below.

All Pokemon Go Rising Heroes Pokemon Debuts

With the Pokemon Go Rising Heroes, a slew of new 'mon will make their appearance in the mobile game. As of the event's start, here's a list of every new Pokemon in Pokemon Go Rising Heroes:

Legendary Regieleki
Legendary Regidrago
Roaming Form Gimmighoul
all Pokemon found in XXS and XXL sizes

Players can now obtain the Coin Bag, which increases their chances of catching Roaming Form Ghimmighoul and Ghimmighoul coins. Trainers who collect 999 Ghimmighoul coins can evolve it into the Gen 9 Pokemon Gholdengo.

Another new feature introduced was new Pokemon sizes to players. Trainers can now find Pokemon in XXS and XXL sizes, which will most likely factor into battles. For the time being, only Poochyena, Mightyena, and Mawile are available in XXS and XXL sizes, and when players break size records, a new notification message will appear.

Pokemon Go Rising Heroes Elite Raids

The not-so-popular Elite Raids with Legendary Pokemon Regieleki and Regidrago will return in Pokemon Go Rising Heroes. "Elite Raids is a difficult type of Raid Battle that Trainers face in person," according to the Pokemon Go official website.

It has been confirmed that the only way to encounter these Legendaries this season will be through Elite Raids. Remember that Elite Raids can only be completed in person, so Remote Raid Passes are ineffective.

In Pokemon Go Season 10, Elite Raids will be available to players on March 11 and April 9.

Additionally, the Pokemon coming in 5-Star and Mega Raids for March included:

March 1 – 8: Incarnate Forme Tornadus and Mega Charizard Y
March 8 – 21: Ho-Oh and Mega Medicham
Marc 21 – 28: Incarnate Forme Thundurus and Mega Venusaur
March 29: Lugia Raid Hour
March 28 – April 10: Mega Alakazam

Anyone can be a hero. Whether it’s helping someone cross the street or saving Shadow Pokémon from Team GO Rocket, you have the power to make a difference!

Get ready for Pokémon, events, and bonuses coming in March that will help your inner hero rise.#RisingHeroes pic.twitter.com/kwkYsD8iTT
