Dive into an action-packed week in Pokémon GO starting November 13th!
Fashion Week is back! Strut the catwalk with Mareanie and Gothita, and feel fashion baby! New costume Pokémon are serving face, with Dragonite, Wooper and Quagsire getting special Fashion Week outfits.
For those aiming for mastery, the race is on to complete the Timed Investigation and earn the unrivaled Master Ball. But that’s not all – battle enthusiasts can gear up for the GO Battle League Season 16, while raiders prepare for epic confrontations with Virizion staggering into raids! When Virizion leaves it is time for their fellow Swords of Justice member, Cobalion (iron) wills their way into tier 5 raids.
Mega Garchomp also roars into Mega Raids post their special raid day, giving trainers who didn’t get a chance at the weekend to collect that Mega Energy.
