Please notice, that is purely a hypothesis publish and we'll present a full occasion information as soon as this info is launched.
The Pokémon Worlds Championships is ready to return to Yokohama, Japan from 11-13 August 2023. That is might be a primary for the head of Pokémon trainers, because it is not going to solely be the primary time the grand stage has been hosted in Asia, nevertheless it's additionally the primary time that the Technology 9 of Pokémon will debut for the VGC class by Pokémon Scarlet & Violet.
So what might this imply for Pokémon GO? All we all know up to now is that there might be an in-game occasion 11-13 August, and that PvP raid boss Cresselia will function in tier 5 raids. So what else might we see?
Final 12 months's World Championships tie-in occasion featured a heavy concentrate on the PVP Nice League, since that is the official event format. With the return of Zacian and Zamazenta in raids, an opportunity to seize some older Group Day unique strikes, a particular London Worlds Championships outfit for Pikachu and wild spawns that includes meta related Pokémon in addition to some Galarian types, it was undoubtedly an occasion celebrating the Galar area. With the Paldean area based mostly on the Iberian Peninsula, and solely simply being launched final 12 months, we're unlikely to see that very same focus, however perhaps only one Pokémon being launched in GO can be sufficient?
Wooper (Paldean)
FloorPoison
Paldean Wooper was the primary confirmed Paldean regional kind to be introduced for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, and was immediately successful amongst followers. It's evolution, Clodsire, was additionally obtained nicely for it's early sport viability and it's general cute, however derpy, design. With a straight stage up evolution in the principle collection video games, this might make a straightforward launch of the Floor and Poison kind into Pokémon GO, and a very good tie in if my checklist of suspected spawns involves be.

The rest?
Since there's no costume for Pikachu within the official paintings for Yokohama it might be unlikely that we get to see one other occasion costume for the Pokémon mascot. Some other hypothesis can be purely based mostly on what we noticed with final 12 months's occasion, however I wouldn't count on Niantic to observe the identical components beat for beat, particularly as Worlds weekend falls between three GO Fest occasions.
