November 2026

Shiny Greavard debuts in the wild, research and the GO Pass; evolve one with 50 candy for the first shiny Houndstone. Costumed Rowlet, Litwick and a Spooky Festival Gengar fill the spawns. The Halloween GO Pass unlocks 2x catch candy at rank 10 and 2x catch stardust at rank 20, and both run to the 5th at 8 PM local.

Ticketed in-person event in Japan. Gigantamax Duraludon debuts here first, with Crowned Zacian and Zamazenta raids and Dynamax Dialga and Palkia. Location Backgrounds are only available from in-person raids and Max Battles.

Same programme as Sendai, same weekend, for the Americas. Steel and dragon theme, Gigantamax Duraludon, Crowned Zacian and Zamazenta, Dynamax Dialga and Palkia, in-person Location Backgrounds.

The global warm-up week, 10 AM on the 9th to 8 PM on the 13th. Crowned Zacian and Zamazenta in five-stars, Dynamax Regidrago and Dynamax Meltan debut, shiny Gimmighoul from the Coin Bag and shiny Meltan from the Mystery Box. Magnemite, Noibat and Togedemaru in the wild, Druddigon and Orthworm in three-stars. Remote raid limit 30 for the week.

Free pass with Dynamax Meltan encounters and half hatch distance at rank 25. The Deluxe tier (US$14.99) carries a Silver Bottle Cap: Hyper Training that raises one IV stat to 15 over time on a Good Buddy or better, not on shadows. That turns a 15/15/14 into a hundo, which is exactly what the app flags as a functional hundo. Rewards must be claimed by the 17th; the cap expires on the 22nd.

Free for everyone, 10 AM to 6 PM local both days, with an optional US$11.99 ticket. Zekrom and White Kyurem on Saturday, Reshiram and Black Kyurem on Sunday, Gigantamax Duraludon six-stars both days, Dynamax Dialga Saturday and Dynamax Palkia Sunday. Steel and dragon habitats alternate hourly with Mighty mons on the map, Modern Jacket Machamp in three-stars, Honedge, Klefki, Drampa and Duraludon in 10 km eggs. Three free raid passes a day from gyms, Max Particle cap 1,600, GO Safari Balls from stops. Ticket adds shiny odds, 6 passes, 2x catch candy, Latias and Latios from Incense and 6 special trades at half stardust.

Second of the meteor shower windows. Minior is boosted from 5 PM to 9 PM local each evening with extra stardust per catch and shooting stars in the sky. A second core colour debuts; which one is not confirmed yet.

2 PM to 5 PM local. The date is confirmed on the season page; the featured mon is not. Niantic normally reveals it two to three weeks ahead, so expect the announcement in the first week of November.

2 PM to 5 PM local. Date confirmed, boss not. The October one (Chandelure) came with boosted shiny odds and extra passes; plan for the same shape.

The season closes at 10 AM local on Dec 1, which is when the new season, its spawns and the December rotation take over. Any Twilight Trails research still open should be cleared before then.
