November 2026 in Pokémon Go will feature the Go Wild Area 2026 events, including two in-person gatherings before the main global event. While some game aspects may be quieter, there remains plenty to keep trainers engaged.
November 2026 Event Schedule
The month kicks off with Halloween Part 2 from Sunday, November 1st to Thursday, November 5th. Following this are two in-person Go Wild Area events: Sendai Tohoku, Japan, and Mexico City, Mexico, both running from Friday, November 6th to Sunday, November 8th. The Into the Wild event takes place from Monday, November 9th to Friday, November 13th, leading into the Go Wild Area 2026: Global on Saturday, November 14th and Sunday, November 15th. Dynamax Trails will run from Monday, November 16th to Tuesday, November 24th. A Pawniard Community Day is scheduled for Saturday, November 21st. The Twilight Wishes event occurs from Tuesday, November 24th to Monday, November 30th, and the month concludes with a Super Mega Raid Day on Saturday, November 28th. The Go Wild Area 2026: Global, themed around Dynamax Pokémon, is the major focus for November and marks the last large global event of the year. The preceding Into the Wild event contributes to the slightly sparser schedules observed early in the month.
Legendary and Mega Raid Schedule
Five-star Legendary raids in November will feature Origin Forme Giratina from Wednesday, October 28th to Tuesday, November 3rd, followed by Altered Forme Giratina from Wednesday, November 4th to Sunday, November 8th. From Monday, November 16th to Tuesday, November 24th, trainers can challenge Cresselia and Darkrai. The month concludes with all four formes of Deoxys – Normal, Attack, Defense, and Speed – appearing in raids from Wednesday, November 25th to Tuesday, December 1st. Darkrai is highlighted as a particularly valuable target due to its strength as a Ghost-type and the opportunity to farm Candy for its Shadow variant.
Mega Raids will showcase Mega Sableye from Wednesday, October 28th to Sunday, November 8th. This will be followed by Mega Banette from Monday, November 16th to Tuesday, November 24th. From Wednesday, November 25th to Tuesday, December 1st, Mega Metagross will be available. It is important to note that Mega Raids reward Mega Energy for the respective Pokémon, rather than an encounter with the Mega Evolution itself. The Super Mega Raid Day on November 28th is anticipated to introduce a new Mega Evolution.
Other November Events
Max Battle schedules include Sableye from Monday, October 26th to Sunday, November 1st, and Machop from Monday, November 2nd to Sunday, November 8th. A placeholder 'TBA' Pokémon will be featured from Monday, November 16th to Sunday, November 23rd, followed by Espurr from Monday, November 23rd to Sunday, November 29th, and Cryogonal from Monday, November 30th to Sunday, December 6th.
Spotlight Hours in November are less frequent but offer valuable bonuses. On Thursday, November 5th, Witch Hat Teddiursa will be featured with double Evolution XP. On Thursday, November 26th, Noibat will offer double Catch Candy, which is ideal for collecting the 400 Candy needed for its evolution.
Shadow Raids will feature Shadow Incarnate Forme Landorus until Tuesday, November 3rd, and subsequently Shadow Incarnate Forme Tornadus from Tuesday, November 3rd to Tuesday, December 1st. Both Shadow Legendaries have the potential to be shiny. The ability to use Remote Raid Passes for Shadow Raids offers added convenience for participation.
