The holidays are finally here and it’s time to celebrate in Pokemon GO! The mobile AR game has a massive lineup of exciting events to help kick off the Season of Heritage and the winter holiday festivities.
The full Pokemon GO December events calendar is now live and players can find out what kind of events will be featured in the weeks leading up to the big Pokemon GO Holidays event. There are some amazing Battle Raid bosses appearing, but that’s just the start of the fun.
One of the most exciting things about this month is that the new season is kicking off. As players begin to learn everything they need to know about the Season of Heritage, they can also enjoy a lengthy list of other seasonal activities in the coming weeks...
