Pokemon GO is welcoming Mateo to the game in its latest Along the Routes event, letting players get to know the new character throughout their monster-collecting adventure. In particular, Mateo’s Gift Exchange lets Trainers from across the globe score special rewards at the end of a Route. The researcher lets you exchange mementos from other Trainers once every day.
In the latest event within Pokemon GO, you can look forward to encountering Shiny Hisuian Sneasel as well. You can also form your very own party to complete Routes with your besties. Additionally, you can expect a new Special Research narrative; plus, wild encounters are now more frequent for Slugma, Hitmontop, Spoink, Feebas, Lillipup, Woobat, Emolga, Wooloo, and Pawmi.
Curious about Party Play? If you’re not sure how the system works, we’ve got a handy guide for you right here to help you get started! You can vote for the game over at our Pocket Gamer Awards 2023 too while you’re at it!
There’s a whole new adventure to go on to celebrate a fresh face!
