Season of Heritage is a new Pokémon GO season that lasts from December 1, 2021, until March 1, 2022. During the Season of Heritage, Trainers will help Professor Willow unlock a strange giant door and uncover the mystery of our own heritage.

After witnessing the power of Hoopa Unbound, Professor Willow’s exploration brought 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?
