As well as introducing monthly seasonal challenges and bonuses, it appears to tie directly into an upcoming game in the series – Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Elsewhere, you can also expect to find different Pokémon spawning in the wild depending on which hemisphere you live in, as well as new creatures in Eggs and Raids.

What do we know about the Season of Heritage in Pokémon Go?
Seasons are themed in-game periods which bring new updates and events to Pokémon Go and the Season of Heritage is the fifth to occur.
After the events of Season of Mischief, Professor Willow has become interested in other mysterious powers after witnessing what Hoopa can do.
According to Niantic: “His research brings him to a historical cave site, where he stumbles upon a large door bearing a set of strange unlocking mechanisms. How does it open? What lies beyond? Your research this Season will see you collaborating with both Professor Willow and the team leaders to help uncover this historic site’s mysteries.”
All a bit vague – but we have some clues elsewhere of what to expect as for the theme. Between the logo choice, the dates overlapping with the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus and the blurb saying “we’ll look to the past for answers that will help guide us into the future” (Arceus is a ‘prequel’) it’s entirely possible we could see an event and most likely some new Pokémon and Hisuian regional forms from Legends Arceus.
This isn’t new for Pokémon Go – we’ve seen this previously with Gen 8’s Galarian Pokémon forms with the release of Sword and Shield.
Aside from that, Season of Heritage events confirmed at launch include:
- The introduction of monthly seasonal bonuses and timed research:
- December: Blanche’s Stardust Challenge (2x Stardust for first daily catch; Deino Hat Avatar Item reward after 120,000 Stardust collected)
- January: Spark’s XP Challenge (2x XP for first daily catch; Goomy Hat Avatar Item reward after 240,000 XP collected)
