Precious Paths is the latest season of Pokemon GO, starting today, December 2, 10 am local time, and running for four months until March 3, 2026. The season introduces the Precious Catch Masterwork Research to get a Master Ball, Pokemon debuts like Clobbopus and Grapploct, as well as multiple quest steps for the Precious Paths Special Research.
The Precious Paths seasonal research will apparently have about 12 steps, but right now, only two are available. As the new Pokemon GO season progresses, more steps will be unveiled, but don’t expect it to be fully complete until the end of February 2026 or so.
Below, we’ll list all known quest steps and rewards for the seasonal Precious Paths research, and we’ll keep this guide updated as more steps are added!
