Niantic’s upcoming Pokemon Go event, Young & Wise, officially kicks off on Tuesday, December 10, just one week after the launch of the Dual Destiny season.

Dual Destiny begins on Tuesday, December 3, promising Community Days, the debut of Gigantamax, and the return of several beloved pocket monsters such as Hoopa Unbound.

Developer Niantic has already unveiled the season’s first event, with the Just My Cup of Tea festivities starting the same day as the new seasonal update. The team’s not stopping there, though, given that a second event has been announced.

Players awaiting the Young & Wise festivities can look forward to new Raids, Eggs to hatch, and much more. Here’s what to expect.
