Pokémon tease third countdown logo pointing to 30 November reveal
The Pokémon Company's Japanese X account posted a Poké Ball logo marked 676, timed 676 hours before 14:00 UTC on 30 November 2026.
The Pokémon Company posted a third countdown-style Poké Ball logo on its Japanese X account early on Monday, 2 November 2026, according to the post itself. The image carried the number 676 and appeared exactly 676 hours before 14:00 UTC on 30 November 2026, pointing to a reveal at that time.
The post also included new Japanese text that roughly means “Continue with Pokémon.” Serebii webmaster Joe Merrick identified the countdown pattern, according to Serebii.
The new logo follows two earlier posts in October that showed the numbers 1,025 and 843, with exactly 182 hours between them. The third entry continues the same numerical format.
Throughout 2026, The Pokémon Company has been marking the franchise's 30th anniversary with Poké Ball-themed logos for more than 1,000 Pokémon. Earlier in 2026 the company also ran a Super Bowl ad asking “What's your favorite Pokémon?”
Pokémon Winds and Waves, the next mainline games in the series, are due out in 2027 but have no release date yet. Most Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 Pokémon releases have arrived in the fall, with Pokémon Legends: Arceus as the exception.
