3 Paldean families Niantic should add soon in Pokemon GO

Revealed just before the titles launched, Gimmighoul and Gholdengo, two creatures from the new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet games, were confirmed to join Pokemon GO's roster just in time for the grand release. Following these two making their mark on the mobile title, a lot of players have been thinking of other monsters from the Paldea region that they would like to see in the mobile spin-off.

Niantic is known for its constant stream of new content that it adds to Pokemon GO as a way to always keep its dedicated audience coming back. As such, the concept of bringing new creatures to the mobile game is never one that is off the table. For example, the newest addition to the spin-off, Kleavor, was added just yesterday as of writing.

With the Paldea region getting more comfortable in the hearts of fans of the main series, it may be time to look towards the mobile game to see what the natural next step is for the ever-expanding roster. So what are some great Paldean creatures that fans would like to see in Pokemon GO?


3 Paldean Pokemon families that should come to Pokemon GO

1) Paldea's Starter Pokemon

It doesn't feel right including other creatures from a region without first rolling out the starters. As experienced players will know, every playthrough of a title starts with trainers choosing their first Starter Pokemon, and Pokemon GO is no different. With the starters from regions contributing as much of a generation's identity as the region itself, it only seems right to start with the three Starter Pokemon.

Fuecoco, Quaxly, and Sprigatito have been some of the most satisfactory starter designs that players have seen from the franchise in quite some time. Giving these cute creatures to mark the Paldean monsters' debut seems like the best way to introduce the next generation of designs.

2) The Treasures of Ruin

Much like Alola, Paldea is host to a Quartet of Legendary Pokemon. As such, much like with the Season of Alola bringing these four new monsters, a similar Season of Ruin could bring Wo-Chien, Chi-Yu, Ting-Lu, Chien-Pao, Paldea's Treasures of Ruin.

Being some of the franchise's most mysterious Legendaries to this day, giving Pokemon GO a crack at its own bit of story would be interesting to see. With how powerful these creatures are in their respective titles, they could offer a pressing challenge, making for great Raid Bosses.


3) Charcadet, Armarouge, and Ceruledge

This family of creatures has cemented itself as some of the best to come from the Paldea region. As such, the addition of these three particular creatures could breath some fresh life into Pokemon GO's stagnent and oppressive metagame. Ever since they were revealed in one of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's adventures, players were already determined to add them to their team.

Being some of the most well-designed Fire-types the franchise has seen in a long time, players fell in love with the family, with many players reportedly carrying one on their team throughout their playthrough. As such, a reveal that these creatures will be coming to Pokemon GO will surely drum up some well-deserved hype.

With the metagame for the Ultra and Great Leagues for these games being filled to the brim with Steel-types, the introduction of Armarouge in particular could really spice up Pokemon GO's competitive scene. Thanks to its slightly more defensive stat spread, it can be predicted that Armarouge would perform very well in the battling scene.
