Pokémon GO Wild Area is back with a global event boasting Max Battles, mighty Pokémon, loads of event bonuses, and so much more. On November 14 and November 15, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. the chase is on as Trainers work to battle and catch powerful Pokémon appearing in raids and in the wild.
Gigantamax Duraludon will make its global Pokémon GO debut in six-star Max Battles, so prepare your Ground- and Fighting-type Pokémon to counter the Steel- and Dragon-type Pokémon.
GO Safari Balls will reappear for a brief time, which you can get from spinning Photo Discs at PokéStops and Gyms during the event. These Poké Balls increase the odds of catching Pokémon, especially mighty Pokémon.
Make the most of these wildly incredible event bonuses in effect between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. each day of the event.
Get ready to go wild battling the following Pokémon in raids.
Steel-type Pokémon, Dragon-type Pokémon, and mighty Pokémon will be roaming the wild throughout the event.
