Pokémon Go Wild Area, the November equivalent of the game's major Go Fest and Go Tour events, has been dated for 2026.

Pokémon Go Wild Area Global - accessible for all players - takes place on the weekend of Saturday, 14th November and Sunday, 15th November.

After its debut in Nagasaki last year, there will be return of more in-person Go Wild Area events, this time in Sendai, Japan, and Mexico City, Mexico, both taking place between Friday, 6th November and Sunday, 8th November.

No specifics for the events were provided, though tickets and details will be announced sometime next season, which kicks off on Tuesday, 8th September.

Go Wild Area differs from other global events by featuring Mighty Pokémon - which are highly-powered up creatures that spawn in the wild - and the debut of a headline Pokémon in Max Battles.

The full dates and details are below:
