Pokemon Scarlet and Violet officially announced eight new events for August 2026. While Pokemon Winds and Waves are on the horizon, the games will launch sometime in 2027, and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will remain actively supported in the meantime. This doesn't apply to all aspects of the games, though, as Season 41 was the last official season for Gen 9 games, and now Pokemon Champions carries the torch for VGC content. Still, fans can expect more content for Gen 9, as evidenced by a new announcement.
August 6 will mark the end of an era for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, as the current 7-Star Tera Raid event for Mightiest Mark Magikarp will come to a close with no rerun of the starter event for Meowscarada, Skeledirge, and Quaquaval. Starting on January 8, 2026, Gen 9 games hosted a weekly rerun of the starter event, including all starter Pokemon in the series from Venusaur to Hisuian Samurott, but Meowscarada, Skeledirge, and Quaquaval didn't get their share. Now that eight more events are planned, it's clear that they won't.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A is getting a new official release soon, and it's a teaser for Pokemon Winds and Waves.
