Autumn is shaping up to be particularly intense on Niantic’s mobile game. The Pokémon Company and Niantic have just unveiled the full details of the Into the Wild event (Âme sauvage in the French version), scheduled from Monday, November 9 at 10 a.m. to Friday, November 13, 2026 at 8 p.m. (local time). A true prelude to the big Pokémon GO Wild Areas celebrations, this event spotlights Steel- and Dragon-type Pokémon, with highly anticipated debuts in Dynamax Battles and an exceptionally raised Remote Raid limit.
Regidrago and Meltan join Dynamax Battles
The Dynamax mechanic continues to enrich the game experience. Starting this event week, Power Spots will host formidable opponents. The draconic creature 
Regidrago will make its big debut in Dynamax form in Tier 5 Battles on Thursday, November 12, and will know the Fast Attack Dragon Breath when caught. Meanwhile, the Hex Nut Pokémon 
Meltan will also join the fun alongside 
Registeel (Wednesday, November 11, with Metal Claw) as well as the legendary duo of 
Latias (Mist Ball) and 
Latios (Luster Purge) on Friday, November 13.
The return of Crowned Zacian and Zamazenta
To go along with these titanic battles, Tier 5 Legendary Raids will see the return of the two heroes of Galar: 
Zacian in its Crowned Sword form and 
Zamazenta in its Crowned Shield form. Two dedicated Raid Hours will take place from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. (local time), on Monday, November 9 for Zacian and Tuesday, November 10 for Zamazenta respectively. Trainers will be able to gather precious Crowned Sword Energy and Crowned Shield Energy, essential to unlock the full potential of these legendaries.
To make participation easier for players around the world, Niantic is applying a long-requested measure: the daily limit of Remote Raid Passes will be raised to 30 uses per day from November 9 to 13, allowing communities to help each other without geographic constraints.
GO Pass, Hyper Training and worldwide bonuses
A free event GO Pass will be granted to all Trainers starting November 9, complemented by a paid Deluxe GO Pass ($14.99 USD, or about €17.99) offering enhanced rewards. Completing the final tier of the Deluxe Pass will notably earn you a very rare Silver Bottle Cap, which lets you start Hyper Training with a Best Buddy Pokémon to max out one of its individual stats (HP, Attack or Defense) at 100%.
- Tier 5 Dynamax Battles: Registeel (11/11), Regidrago (12/11), Latias and Latios (13/11).
- Tier 5 Legendary Raids: Crowned Sword Zacian (Raid Hour on 9/11) and Crowned Shield Zamazenta (Raid Hour on 10/11).
- Tier 3 Raids: Druddigon and Orthworm, with a chance of their shiny forms.
- Wild encounters: Magnemite, Noibat and Togedemaru will appear more frequently on the map.
- Remote Raids: Limit raised to 30 passes per day for the whole duration of the event.
- Memorable Backgrounds: Chance to get a special Wild Areas Background on Pokémon caught in 5-star Raids.
Key takeaways
With the arrival of Dynamax Regidrago, the massive reopening of Remote Raids and the introduction of Hyper Training via the Silver Bottle Cap, the Into the Wild event looks like an unmissable stop before the big end-of-year events. Get your Fighting, Ice and Fairy teams ready to take on these challenges from November 9 at 10 a.m.
