Status
The event has now finished.

A Dark- and Fairy-themed warm-up week before Pokémon GO Wild Area: Global, running from 10 to 14 November, with Shadow Lugia and Shadow Ho-Oh back in Shadow Raids and the Tapus, Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma taking turns in five-star raids. Max Battles feature Ralts at one star, Sableye at three stars and both forms of Toxtricity at four stars. Hyper Training returns, and the new Silver Bottle Cap is the final prize of the GO Pass Deluxe, so the event's raids are worth playing for the GO Points.
