The much-awaited Pokémon Go season, the Season of Mischief, is around the corner, and it will bring the iconic Pokémon Hoopa to the game. While the next season is set to commence on 1st September, it doesn’t mean the Hoopa will appear in the Pokémon Go right away.

The developers have planned an exclusive Special Research story event that will offer a chance to the players to catch Hoopa. Moreover, a special event will be introduced at the end of the Season of Mischief that’ll be associated with Hoopa, confirms the most recent announcement. However, players must complete the Season’s Special Research story in order to gain its access.
