The Pokémon GO Dual Destiny season brings exciting changes to the GO Battle League. This season, running from December 3, 2024, to March 4, 2025, resets player ranks, offering fresh opportunities for rank-up rewards and encounters.
Guaranteed Rank-Up Encounters: Reaching specific ranks guarantees an encounter with a particular Pokémon. These are one-time encounters upon reaching the rank.

| Ace Rank |  Jangmo-o |
| Veteran Rank |  Deino |

All guaranteed encounters, except Frigibax, have a chance to be Shiny.
