- Misunderstood Mischief, which is the next part of the Season of Mischief Special Research story, unlocks:
- Psychic-type Pokémon get all worked up and start to appear more often in the wild.
- This should be a good time to learn more about them, including Hoopa.
- Psychic-type Pokémon that include, among others, Abra, Drowzee, Gothita, Solosis, appear more frequently in the wild.
- Those lucky enough could encounter Elgyem and Inkay.
- Psychic-type Pokémon appear in raids throughout the event.

September Events
The official debut of Inkay and Malamar is part of the events for September. But there are more like Raids, Spotlight Hours, and Community Day.
One thing that trainers can be excited about is the weekly bundles. For the rest of September, the shop is offering a one-time-purchase bundle for one PokéCoin. This bundle contains a Remote Raid Pass in addition to other items. The offer is only available every Monday of the month.
September also marks the start of the new season. From September 1 to December 1, it’s going to be the Season of Mischief. The focus is on Hoopa and it is bringing the first Pokémon discovered in the Galar region.
Pokémon GO was released in 2016 on Android and iOS.
