Pokémon Go Fest 2026 Mega Finale habitat schedule and event guide
Pokémon Go is hosting "Go Fest 2026: Mega Finale" on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 September, running 10am to 6pm local time on both days, marking the end of the game's summer event season. The finale's headline draw is the return of Armored Mewtwo, which has not appeared since 2020, available in five-star raids throughout both days, giving players a chance to catch it or gather extra Mega Energy after a long absence.
The event is lighter on bonuses than the main Go Fest but still offers rotating type-based "habitats," each lasting an hour and repeating twice per day, bringing different wild Pokémon and raid bosses. Most bonuses require the Go Pass, introduced earlier in the week during the "Mega Ascension" event and unlocked via a short Timed Research task involving a choice between Mega Chesnaught, Mega Delphox or Mega Greninja, though two bonuses are free for all players. Mega Mewtwo X features in Super Mega Raids all Saturday, while Mega Mewtwo Y takes over on Sunday, alongside a wide range of other Mega Evolutions and habitat-specific wild spawns.
- Pokémon Go's "Mega Finale" runs 5-6 September, 10am-6pm both days
- Armored Mewtwo returns to raids for the first time since 2020
- Rotating hourly habitats and Go Pass bonuses feature throughout the event

Pokémon Go's calendar is built around big seasonal "Go Fest" events, and this one, the Mega Finale, closes out the game's summer 2026 season. It runs across two days, with each offering the same 10am to 6pm window and a rotating set of themed "habitats" that change the wild Pokémon and raid bosses on offer hour by hour.
The main draw is Armored Mewtwo, a special version of the well-known Pokémon Mewtwo that last appeared in the game back in 2020, now returning through in-game battles called raids. The event also features several "Mega Evolved" forms of Pokémon, a mechanic that temporarily powers up certain creatures, with different versions available on each of the two days.
Some of the event's extra rewards are only available to players who complete a short task tied to an earlier event this week, while a couple of bonuses are open to everyone regardless. This structure of layered requirements and time-limited content is typical of how Pokémon Go organises its live events for its large, ongoing player base.
