Pokemon Go's Next Season Is Called Dual Destiny

Summary

• Pokemon Go's next season has been announced, and is called Dual Destiny.
• The season starts on December 3 and will run all the way up to March 4 next year.
• New additions this season include Sinistea, Gigantamax Lapras, with more to come in the near future.

Pokemon Go has had a pretty hot and cold year so far, introducing massive, exciting features such as Gigantamax Battle, even if they come with their own set of problems that players are still dealing with. Still, Niantic is keen to show players what's next for the title, and has now announced Pokemon Go's next season is called Dual Destiny, and will focus on exploring duality and celebrating opposites.

It's also a season that promises a bunch of cool new events and rewards, but to start, we got a look at this year's Holiday Map update. Starting on December 3, players will be able to see a bunch of new screens while capturing Pokemon, all of which have a lovely wintery theme.

Pokemon Go's Next Season Will Introduce Sinistea And Gigantamax Lapras

Of course, a new season brings more Pokemon to the game for the first time, and this one is no exception. For the first time in Pokemon Go, both Sinistea and Gigantamax Lapras will be added during their own events, the details of which are unknown right now, while Dynamax Krabby and Machop will also be available throughout Dual Destiny.

For the more competitive players out there, Season 21 is also bringing a lot of cool little updates to the Pokemon Go Battle League. New avatar items based on Grimsley - a very stylish member of the Elite 4 from Pokemon Black & White - will be available to grab, while Pokemon such as Dragalge, Bibarel, Gliscor, Starmie and more will be getting new moves that you'll be able to try out. It was also revealed that after trialing a 50-second switch timer in Season 20, Niantic is happy with how it's been received and is sticking with 50.

Niantic hasn't revealed all the interesting events this season has in store just yet, so keep an eye on the Pokemon Go website if you want more details on them. For Dual Destiny itself, the season starts on December 3 next month, and will run all the way up until March 4, 2025.
