It's not too late to jump in, and there are many activities on offer.

One of which is Special Research, a collection of tasks to help Professor Willow study the Pokémon world. Once you complete a task, you'll be treated to a reward.

So, if you're curious about the Pokémon Go: Dual Destiny Research, you've come to the right place.

Let's take a look at what's on offer this season!

When does Pokémon Go: Dual Destiny end?

Niantic has confirmed that the Pokémon Go: Dual Destiny event will run from 3rd December 2024 to 4th March 2025. The event will finish at 9:59am local time.

The good news is that all of the Dual Destiny Research and tasks do not have a deadline, so you can complete them whenever you please. It's when they arrive in-game that you have to keep an eye out for.
