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.

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.
