Pokemon GO unveils a new event for the Season of Heritage

Pokemon GO unveils a new event for the Season of Heritage- Mountains of Power. The Season of Heritage story in Pokemon GO continues in 2022 and a new event has been introduced for the trainers. For those who have not followed the lore till now, Spark has discovered that the mysterious door’s second mechanism requires the help of a Rock and Steel-type Pokemon for unlocking. Trainers will now explore the terrain mountainous regions, like the ones found in Johto and Sinnoh, to work with Spark and continue solving the mystery of the door.

The Mountains of Power event will start on Friday, 7th January at 10:00 AM and will be available till Thursday 13th January at 08:00 PM at local timings. Here are the different parts of the event that trainers can participate in.

Event Bonus

Trainers now need to walk half the distance to earn hearts with their buddies.

Timed Research

There will be Timed Research tasks that will feature catching Pokemons, hatching Eggs, and earning Buddy Candy. Trainers will get chances to encounter the following Pokemons by completing their Timed Research tasks:

Mawille (normal and rare Shiny encounter)
Beldum (normal and rare Shiny encounter)

Spark’s intuition led Professor Willow and the other team leaders to discover new parts of the puzzling door. What could they be, Trainers? 🤔
