Pokémon Go Wild Area 2026 event schedule, habitat spawns, and bonuses
Pokémon Go’s global Wild Area 2026 event runs on 14 and 15 November, from 10am to 6pm local time. It introduces Gigantamax Duraludon and Dynamax Dialga and Palkia, while bringing back powerful Pokémon, Safari Balls and limited-time legacy moves. Black Kyurem and White Kyurem also return, giving players a chance to collect Fusion Energy for their Adventure Effects.
Habitats alternate every hour, switching between steel-themed spawns at even-numbered hours and dragon-themed spawns at odd-numbered hours. Mighty Pokémon vary by day, while some can appear through Incense on both days; ticket holders may also encounter Latias and Latios. The $11.99 ticket adds extra perks, and the article notes that two trade bonuses run all day on both event dates.
