Max Encounters, Rewards in Pokemon GO Battle League

By JosephJan 27,2025

The Pokémon GO Dual Destiny season brings exciting changes to the GO Battle League. Rank resets offer a fresh start, and new rewards and Pokémon encounters await. Here's a comprehensive guide to the Dual Destiny season's Battle League offerings.

Dual Destiny Season Start Date:

The Dual Destiny season commences on December 3rd, 2024, and concludes on March 4th, 2025. Rank resets in the GO Battle League occur at the season's start, providing another opportunity to climb the ranks and earn rewards.

Guaranteed Rank-Up Encounters:

Reaching specific ranks guarantees an encounter with a particular Pokémon. These are one-time encounters upon reaching the designated rank.
