The Twilight Trails Season Daily Discoveries runs from September 8 at 10:00 a.m. to December 1, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. local time, focusing on Paldean Pokémon, new Mega evolutions, and updated Daily Discoveries. Trainers can take advantage of rotating daily perks designed to optimize wild exploration, battling, and trading throughout the season.
Preparing for Twilight Trails Season
To make the most of the daily rotating perks, trainers should prepare ahead of the September 8 launch. Ensure your Pokémon storage and Item Bag have plenty of room to handle the increased wild spawns, Mateo route rewards, and Max Battle encounters.
Stocking up on Incense and regular PokéBalls will also help maximize the boosted route efficacy and daily exploration bonuses. Additionally, coordinating with friends ahead of Friendship Friday can help you make the most of the 20% Stardust discount and guaranteed Candy XL trades.
