It’s the final month of Pokemon Go‘s Twilight Trails season, and the game is closing things out in a big way. New and returning Dynamax Pokemon will appear in various events over the next few weeks, including Gigantamax Duraludon, which is set to debut during this month’s global Go Wild Area.
A new selection of legendary and Mega Pokemon are returning to Raids as well in November. You can also expect to encounter new Spotlight Pokemon this month, and Eternamax Eternatus will make another rare appearance during the Dynamax Trails event.

The sharp blade Pokemon Pawniard is taking center stage for this month’s Community Day, which takes place on November 21.
From 2-5 PM local time, Pawniard will appear in the wild more frequently than normal, making this a good opportunity to stock up on Pawniard candy. On top of that, you’ll have increased odds of encountering shiny Pawniard or one that has a special background.
In addition to the increased Pawniard spawns, the event will lower the requirements to obtain Kingambit. Until 9 PM local time, you’ll be able to evolve a Bisharp into Kingambit after defeating one dark- or steel-type Raid boss (while Bisharp is set as your buddy). Any Kingambit that you obtain during this time frame will also learn the Charged Attack Kowtow Cleave.

- 2x candy for catching Pokemon
- 2x chance to receive candy XL from catching Pokemon (players level 31 and above)
- Incense will last for three hours (excluding Daily Adventure Incense)
