Pokémon Go’s upcoming season, Dual Destiny, is set to begin on Tuesday, 3rd December. The season logo showcases a black and white theme, hinting at the upcoming feature of the Unova region from Pokémon Black and White in the game’s Go Tour event series. Dual Destiny will conclude on 4th March, coinciding with the expected Go Tour Unova event.
Exploring “Dual Destiny”
During a press briefing, Niantic revealed that the season’s name, Dual Destiny, symbolizes “opposites coming together to strengthen one another and celebrate two sides of a whole.” This theme sets the stage for exciting content to come, with the early introduction of Sinistea, a teacup Pokémon with two distinct types – Antique and Phony.
Meet Sinistea
Sinistea, a Ghost-type Pokémon from Pokémon Sword and Shield, resembles a small chipped teacup. Its Pokédex entry describes it as “The soul of someone who died alone possessed some leftover tea.” Sinistea evolves into Polteageist, where “The tea that composes Polteageist’s body has a distinct and enjoyable flavor, but drinking too much can be fatal.”
Exciting Additions
In Dual Destiny, players can look forward to Red and Blue-striped Basculin being Shiny-possible and available in 7km eggs. The form of Basculin obtained will be based on where the gift is hatched, adding a unique twist to the gameplay. Additionally, Gigantamax Lapras will debut in Max Battles, and avatar items inspired by Unova Elite Four member Grimsley will be featured in the Go Battle League.
Additional Moves and Features
Other Pokémon such as Dragalge, Bibarel, Glliscor, and Starmie will receive additional moves, enhancing gameplay strategies. The season promises a blend of new encounters, shiny possibilities, and themed battles to keep players engaged.
