Trainers, November is shaping up to be a very busy month for Pokemon GO, with enough variety to keep even the most hardcore of us occupied. In order to help our readers prepare and stay up to date, we created a handy info graphic that covers everything that’s coming or leaving Pokemon GO in the next few weeks. November features Bug type Pokemon and Field research, with a few special tricks to keep us engaged.

On November 1 2018, at 01:00 PM PDT, a few important things will happen:

  • Shedinja will replace Suicune as the weekly research breakthrough reward, marking the first time this Pokemon will be available in Pokemon GO. Shedinja was never before seen in Pokemon GO, so this is our first opportunity to fill the #292 number in the Hoenn Pokedex.
  • A new batch of Field Research quests will become available, featuring Bug type Pokemon. It’s expected that Nincada and Ninjask will make an appearance in one of the November encounter quests.
  • Shiny Caterpie, Metapod and Butterfree will become available in Pokemon GO. More information: Shedinja and Shiny Caterpie to be released in November
  • Halloween 2018 event ends, marking the end of increased candy rewards for capturing Pokemon and the end of increased Ghost type spawns.
  • Shiny Pinsir will become available worldwide following the start of Taiwanese Safari Zone. There is no indication that Pinsir shiny rates will be increased, but we wouldn’t be surprised, especially if it’s featured in a Pokemon encounter quest. November is, after all, a Bug themed month in Pokemon GO.

It is expected, but not yet confirmed, that Meltan and its evolution, Melmetal, will become available in Pokemon GO on November 16, 2018, following the release of Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu! and Pokemon Let’s Go, Eevee!

Pokemon GO is required in order to obtain a Melmetal Pokemon Let’s Go, as outlined on the official Pokemon.com website: “It has become clear that Meltan will only evolve into Melmetal in Pokémon GO. To evolve it, you will need 400 Meltan Candies.”

On November 20, 2018 Giratina will stop appearing in Tier 5 raids. We expect it to be replaced by Dialga or Palkia, as it is usually the case in Pokemon GO. Make sure to get a solid Giratina before November 20!
