The 10th season of Pokemon Go content is nearly upon us, as Niantic has announced Pokemon Go Rising Heroes, which will add new Pokemon while bringing back a special Raid type.

Pokemon Go Rising Heroes will begin March 1 at 10 AM local time, and it will run until June 1 at 10 AM local time. The event will mark the return of Elite Raids, which are special events where super-powerful Pokemon will be available to catch. Rising Heroes will feature two Elite Raids--one for Regieleki and one for Regidrago--which are scheduled for March 11 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET and April 9 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET.

Two new Pokemon will be available at the start of the new season: Gimmighoul, the Coin Hunter Pokemon that debuted in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, can be caught in the wild using a special item, while its evolution Gholdengo can be earned by finding coins at special golden PokeStops.

The official Pokemon Go blog post also lists a few notable events that will occur during Rising Heroes, including the Festival of Colors March 8-14, a new Team Rocket Go Takeover event for late March, a brand-new event called Everyday Hero that runs concurrently with Team Rocket, and the dates of every Community Day until June, which are as follows:

• March 18
• April 15
• April 29
• May 25

Pokemon Go is available now for free for both iOS and Android devices.
