Trainers are about to face a fresh challenge as the “Precious Paths” Special Research quest arrives in Pokémon Go, bringing new tasks, bonus rewards, and mysterious encounters that promise to test every collector’s strategy.
Pokémon Go‘s new “Precious Paths” season is in full effect, so of course there’s a new seasonal Special Research set that came with it.
Which steps of Precious Paths are still unreleased
Current guides agree that only the early parts of Precious Paths are live; the remaining steps are still locked and being rolled out over time.
Currently unreleased steps
-
Several sources state that only Step 1 and Step 2 of 12 are actually available in-game at this time; the rest of the line is planned but not yet active.
-
One guide explicitly notes that Steps 3-12 “are not yet known” and will be added later as the season progresses, confirming they are unreleased or at least undocumented so far.
How they will release
-
Seasonal notes explain that Precious Paths is being introduced in segments during the Season of Precious Paths, so new steps will unlock alongside future events rather than all at once.
-
Official and community pages indicate that these later steps will be announced and documented when they go live, so checking updated season or guide pages over time is necessary to see when each new step unlocks.
When will the remaining Precious Paths steps release
There is no officially announced exact schedule for when each of the remaining Precious Paths steps will unlock, only that they will roll out gradually during the Season of Precious Paths and must unlock before the season ends on March 3, 2026.
What is known
-
Niantic’s season info states that “new parts of the Special Research will unlock over the course of the Season,” without giving specific dates for each part or step.
-
Community guides generally note that later pages of the research “have yet to be added” and are expected to arrive alongside in-season events rather than all at once.
Reasonable expectations
-
Since the Precious Paths season runs from December 2, 2025, to March 3, 2026, all remaining steps must be released sometime within this window so players can finish them.
-
Some community commentary speculates that the final steps will likely appear in one or two batches in the last few weeks of the season, but this is not confirmed by Niantic and should be treated as guesswork.
