The Pokémon Go Delightful Days season will come to a close on September 2, 2025. For the most part, Scopely has kept tight-lipped on what the next season will entail. However, there will be a September Community Day focused on Flabébé. Red Flower Flabébé will appear in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Blue Flower Flabébé in the Asia-Pacific region, and Yellow Flower Flabébé in the Americas. As part of the event, there’s also the chance to encounter White Flower Flabébé and Orange Flower Flabébé, no matter what region you’re in.
