Season of GO is Pokémon GO’s next season and it lasts from June 1 at 10 a.m. – September 1 at 10 a.m. local time. The main actor of Season of GO is Rhi, a mysterious stranger that is a member of the GO Ultra Recon Squad.
Season of GO brings increased damage for remote Raiding, Friendship bonus damage for raiders, and bonuses for trading, much easier acquisition of Candy XL and boosted PokéStop interactions.
They also seem to know a lot about Ultra Wormholes. Who is this enigmatic stranger? How can they help us with the Ultra Beasts? We’ll just have to play along and see where this takes us…

- End-of-season rewards will be available on the battle screen.

Season overview
With GO Battle League Season 11 on the way, and the recently teased release of Ultra Beasts, it seems like Niantic is preparing a fairly exciting Summer of GO. We are quite happy to see increased damage for Remote Raiders – it seems to fit the general Ultra Wormhole exploration nicely.
Earlier acquisition of Candy XL is also much appreciated, and will definitely help lower level players catch up with Level 40+ Trainers. We do know that Candy XL is a valuable, albeit underutilised, resource, and we’re happy this change has been implemented.
Community Days fall onto reasonable dates as well – it remains to be seen which Pokémon will be featured.
