When does Season 2 start?
- Season 1 (the BETA season) ends 2026-10-20 at 17:00 PDT.
- Season 2 starts 2026-10-21 at 18:30 CEST — that is 09:30 PDT / 16:30 UTC. New ladder rankings begin then and everyone starts at the same time.
- Between seasons you can keep playing, but matches don’t count toward ladder points.
What is new in Season 2?
Season 2 is the game’s biggest update so far. From the official announcement:
| New in Season 2 | Detail |
|---|---|
| Storm Coast | A sea map of coves, islets and beaches, unlocked by completing Rocky Desert. The tide floods the beaches every ~90 s and leaves pearls; a waterspout can sweep you across the map |
| Celestial Glacier | A second new map themed around water and ice |
| 14 new bosses | Each with its own mechanic (e.g. Kingler, Electrode, Gyarados, Tentacruel, Starmie, Electabuzz on Storm Coast) |
| Move fusions | Moves can now fuse into new combined effects |
| Mega-crits | Crit chance above 100% is no longer wasted — it becomes a mega-crit, up to 200% |
| 5 new vitamins | 26 vitamins total |
| 24 new items | Fresh unlocks and build options |
| 3 new altars | More in-run choices |
| 41 new achievements | New goals to chase |
| Lab updates | Changes to Lab upgrades |
| Fairer bosses | Boss tuning and more Stardust |
What is the Lavender Tower Night event?
Season 2’s first season event is Lavender Tower Night, set in Lavender Town:
- 7 handmade floors — Lobby, Hall of Gravestones, Hall of Mist, Snuffed Candles and more.
- Three waves per floor, with the floor boss on the third wave.
It’s a limited, hand-designed run unlike the usual procedural maps — a reason to jump in early in Season 2.
For the event end time, rewards and current menu card, see the Lavender Tower Night event guide .
What are the Season 2 rules?
The developer committed to a stable season so the ladder stays fair:
- Once the season starts, gameplay, mechanics and the economy are locked.
- Mid-season, only bug fixes and quality-of-life changes ship — no balance churn.
- Development time otherwise goes to fixing bugs, QoL, and preparing the next season.
When is co-op coming?
Co-op (cooperative play) launches shortly after Season 2 starts, not at the season launch. The developer said more details are coming soon. We’ll build a dedicated co-op guide the moment it’s playable.
How should I prepare for Season 2?
- Finish any Season 1 goals before 2026-10-20 17:00 PDT — ladder standing resets.
- Learn the current bosses and mechanics so move fusions and mega-crits click faster.
- Unlock Rocky Desert so Storm Coast opens for you on day one.
When does Season 2 end?
Season 2 and the Lavender Tower Night event end on November 4, 2026 at 17:30 UTC (9:30 AM PST), according to the official status feed checked on 2026-10-29. Season 3 (Version 0.9) with Gen 2 launches the same day; see the Pokebonk Season 3 guide for what has been announced.
