This Week in Pokémon GO (November 9–15): GO Wild Area Global, Into the Wild and Minior Showers

The week of November 9–15, 2026 brings Into the Wild, the Leonid Minior Shower, and GO Wild Area: Global. Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta lead the weekday raids, followed by a different legendary lineup on each day of Wild Area. Cresselia and Darkrai arrive next week, on November 16.
