As one Season of the GO Battle League draws to a close, the next one is destined to take its place—starting December 3, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. PST, GO Battle League: Dual Destiny is bringing changes to attacks, the return of GO Battle Week, and the chance to claim your destiny in GO Battle League history!
Trainers should also note that the change to the switch timer made during the previous Season will continue into Dual Destiny, so Trainers will still have to wait 50 seconds before making another switch in battle.
