The Pokémon GO Wild Area gets a global weekend on November 14 and 15, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time. This edition, themed around Steel and Dragon types, marks the debut of Dynamax 
Dialga and 
Palkia, as well as the big debut of Gigantamax 
Duraludon.
Revealed on October 17 on the official Pokémon GO website, this global leg complements the in-person events in Sendai and Mexico City and extends the “Into the Wild” event (November 9-13). Most of it is free, and an optional ticket costs US$11.99 (or the local currency equivalent) in the Pokémon GO Web Store.
Gigantamax Duraludon, the real star of the weekend
The Galar colossus is finally arriving: Gigantamax Duraludon will appear in tier 6 Max Battles on both days, with its Shiny form available for the luckiest trainers. Ticket holders will also follow a Special Research story that ends with an encounter with a Gigantamax Duraludon sporting a Special Background.
Dynamax Dialga and Palkia, one day each
The Temporal Pokémon and the Spatial Pokémon share the billing: Dynamax Dialga in Saturday, November 14’s Max Battles, and Dynamax Palkia on Sunday, November 15. To prepare your teams, check out our guide to Raids and Max Battles.
Kyurem, Zekrom, Reshiram and a very stylish Machamp
As for Raids, 
Machamp wearing a modern jacket joins the 3-star Raids on both days. In 5-star Raids, Saturday pairs 
Zekrom with 
Kyurem, while Sunday brings 
Reshiram with Black Kyurem. Both of these Raids reward Fusion Energy for fusing Kyurem, and the one you catch may know the Charged Attack Glaciate.
Pokémon caught after these Raids and Max Battles will have a chance to display a new commemorative Special Background. Good to know: according to the “Into the Wild” announcement, Remote Raids will not be limited on November 14 and 15.
| Saturday, November 14 | Sunday, November 15 | |
|---|---|---|
| Max Battles | Dynamax Dialga, Gigantamax Duraludon (tier 6) | Dynamax Palkia, Gigantamax Duraludon (tier 6) |
| 5-star Raids | Zekrom, White Kyurem | Reshiram, Black Kyurem |
| 3-star Raids | Machamp wearing a modern jacket | Machamp wearing a modern jacket |
Mighty Pokémon, Safari GO Balls and the Eon duo
In the wild, spawns will rotate every hour: the “Steadfast as Steel Hour” will kick things off, followed by the “Determined as Dragons Hour,” with everything from 
Aron to 
Dratini by way of 
Gible. Mighty Pokémon are back too: very rare, they more often have strong stats and an XL or XXL size, but are harder to catch.
Hence the value of Safari GO Balls, which are very effective and can only be used during event hours. 10 km Eggs, meanwhile, may contain 
Honedge, 
Klefki, 
Drampa and Duraludon.
For ticket holders, Incense (except Daily Adventure Incense) will even attract Mighty 
Latias et 
Latios on both days.
