Pokémon Go is kicking off 2022 by continuing its Season of Heritage. The newest event, Mountains of Power, is set to start on Jan. 7, and as the name suggests, it will focus on rock and steel-type Pokémon. It is also set to bring a new form to the game, Mega Aerodactyl, in addition to a ton of shiny Pokémon and raids.
