Pokémon GO - Current events and timers

The worldwide finale of this year's Pokémon GO Wild Area on 14 and 15 November, following the in-person citywide events in Sendai, Japan, and Mexico City, Mexico, from 6 to 8 November. Ticket holders get a branched Special Research story in which they research either Steel- or Dragon-type Pokémon, and the path they pick decides some of their rewards and bonuses. This year's Wild Area also brings an option to join Dynamax Battles as a private group using a group code.
