Get ready, Trainers! November in Pokémon GO isn’t just big—it’s an epic saga unfolding across continents, bringing fan-favorite Legendaries, brand-new raid challenges, and exclusive encounters right to your fingertips!
Local Action: Stamp Rallies & Rare Encounters
For our dedicated Poké-fam in Japan and Mexico, November kicks off with a bang! The GO Wild Area events in Sendai, Tohoku, and Mexico City (November 6th-8th) are offering classic Stamp Rallies, a beloved Japanese tradition. From 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time on your main ticketed day, you’ll be zipping between PokéStops in Sendai City (and Mexico City, presumably) to snag those coveted stamps. Just a heads-up: Extra Day add-ons won’t grant a second rally, so plan your main day carefully! If you were lucky enough to grab tickets before they vanished, prepare for more than just stamps—keep those eyes peeled for the elegant Hisuian Sliggoo and its formidable evolution, Hisuian Goodra, making special appearances.
Global Showdown: Legends of Time, Space & Steel
The entire world gets in on the action with the global event on November 14th and 15th! Get ready for a monumental clash as Dynamax Dialga warps into Max Battles on Saturday, followed by the spatial distortions of Dynamax Palkia on Sunday. But the real heavyweight debut? Gigantamax Duraludon crashes into six-star Max Battles! This towering, skyscraper-like Steel/Dragon-type, a fan-favorite design from Galar, is finally making its grand entrance in GO, promising intense battles. And for a lighter, stylish challenge, look out for Machamp rocking a modern jacket in three-star raids—it’s a fun, fresh take on the classic Fighting-type powerhouse.
Unova’s Fiery & Frozen Fury Returns
Fans of the Unova region, your moment has arrived! The mighty Dragon Trio—Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem—are roaring back into raids. Not only that, but prepare for the awe-inspiring forms of Black Kyurem and White Kyurem! You’ll even be able to use Fusion Energy to combine Kyurem with Reshiram or Zekrom, and the devastating move Glaciate will be available. For ticket holders, there’s another legendary treat: encounter Mighty Latias and Mighty Latios, the iconic Eon duo, using special GO Safari Balls for an added catch challenge.
