Pokemon Go’s next event is here following the wrap-up of the Season of Mischief. The Season of Heritage is kicking off with an Incense Day based around Johto’s Swinub.

On December 1, the hit mobile app is saying hello to the Season of Heritage, which appears to be a tie-in with Pokemon Legends Arceus due to its logo being Sinnoh’s Mt. Coronet and the game releasing in January.

One of the first big events to come with the season is the Swinub Incense Day, which focuses on the Ice/Ground-type. Here’s everything you need to know, including all spawns and bonuses.
