Pokémon GO’s Nov. 9-15 calendar will pause its usual Daily Discoveries rotation, but it will not be a quiet week. Into the Wild fills the weekdays with special Raid Hours and Max Battle Hours, while GO Wild Area: Global overlaps the start of Minior Showers: Leonids.

There will be no Max Monday, Spotlight Hour, or regular Wednesday Raid Hour. Into the Wild runs from Nov. 9 at 10:00 a.m. through Nov. 13 at 8:00 p.m. local time. The event brings the debuts of Dynamax Regidrago and Dynamax Meltan. Dynamax Meltan is available through GO Pass: Into the Wild.

Both hours run from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time, and the two Pokémon are in five-star raids from Nov. 9 through Nov. 13. New raid bosses do not appear before 11:00 a.m. local time.

Three-star raids feature Druddigon and Orthworm. Ralts appears in one-star Max Battles, while Machop appears in two-star battles.

Max Battle Hours take over Wednesday through Friday, each from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time. Dynamax Registeel is featured Wednesday, Dynamax Regidrago makes its five-star Max Battle debut Thursday, and Dynamax Latias and Latios appear Friday. Into the Wild ends at 8:00 p.m. Friday.

Featured attacks include Metal Claw for Registeel and Dragon Breath for Regidrago as Fast Attacks, plus Mist Ball for Latias and Luster Purge for Latios as Charged Attacks. A Global Challenge can unlock stronger Crowned Hero Adventure Effects and faster energy generation in Max Battles. The official Into the Wild announcement also names Magnemite, Noibat, and Togedemaru as boosted wild spawns.

Shiny Gimmighoul can appear from Coin Bags and Shiny Meltan from Mystery Boxes from Nov. 9 at 10:00 a.m. through Nov. 15 at 6:00 p.m. local time. Mystery Box cooldowns are shorter during that window, and the Shiny opportunities continue into the GO Wild Area weekend. The Remote Raid limit rises to 30 from Monday through Friday, with no limit on Saturday or Sunday.

GO Battle League rotates on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 1:00 p.m. PST (9:00 p.m. UTC). The new lineup includes Great League, Ultra League: Mega Edition, and the 2026 GO LAIC Cup.

Wild Area and Minior Showers begin Saturday

GO Wild Area: Global runs Nov. 14 and 15 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. local time. Dynamax Dialga features in Saturday Max Battles and Dynamax Palkia on Sunday, while Gigantamax Duraludon appears in six-star Max Battles both days. The Global Wild Area schedule for Dialga and Palkia was announced earlier. Saturday’s five-star raids feature Zekrom and White Kyurem, followed by Reshiram and Black Kyurem on Sunday.

Minior Showers: Leonids begins Saturday, Nov. 14, at 5:00 p.m. and ends Nov. 19 at 11:59 p.m. local time. Minior encounters are boosted daily from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. local time. Catching Minior awards 1,000 Stardust, shooting stars appear in the in-game sky, and the event brings the debut of Yellow Core Minior.

Green Core Minior, first featured during October’s Orionid event, is also reportedly available in the wild, as noted in LeekDuck’s event details. No Timed Research is scheduled for the event’s start.

Scopely Explore Support warns that Minior may not appear during periods that overlap with other in-game events, including Wild Area gameplay and Spotlight Hours. GO Wild Area runs until 6:00 p.m. on both Nov. 14 and 15, overlapping the Minior boost from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. each day. The warning applies to the overlapping periods, not necessarily the full Minior window.
