Pokémon GO Into the Wild Debuts Dynamax Regidrago on Nov 12
Pokémon GO's Into the Wild event runs November 9 to 13 with Dynamax Regidrago, Registeel, Latias and Latios in Max Battles, plus a paid GO Pass Deluxe at US$14.99.
Pokémon GO's Into the Wild event started on Monday, November 9, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. local time and runs until Friday, November 13, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. local time. According to the official Pokémon GO announcement, the "Steel- and Dragon-type adventure" brings Dynamax Regidrago to Pokémon GO for the first time, in five-star Max Battles.
The event also adds Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta to five-star raids, a free GO Pass with Dynamax Meltan, and a new Special Background. The Pokémon GO team says upcoming events are subject to change.
Regidrago arrives in Max Battles on November 12
The five-star Max Battle boss changes by day: Registeel on Wednesday, November 11, Dynamax Regidrago on Thursday, November 12, and Latias and Latios on Friday, November 13. Each boss is also featured in an hour of Max Battles from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time on its day. One-star Max Battles feature Ralts and two-star battles feature Machop.
Pokémon caught during the event know specific attacks: Registeel knows the Fast Attack Metal Claw, Latias the Charged Attack Mist Ball, Latios the Charged Attack Luster Purge, and Regidrago the Fast Attack Dragon Breath. Dynamax Regidrago and Dynamax Meltan can be Shiny, the post says. Players in five-star raids and five-star Max Battles have a chance at a new Special Background after a successful catch.
Zacian and Zamazenta take over raids
Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta appear in five-star raids, with Druddigon and Orthworm in three-star raids. Raid Hours run from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time: Zacian on Monday, November 9, and Zamazenta on Tuesday, November 10. Defeating them earns Crowned Sword Energy or Crowned Shield Energy.
The Remote Raid limit rises to 30 from November 9 to 13, and there is no limit on November 14 and 15. A Global Challenge asks players worldwide to complete raids and Max Battles. If it is completed, the Adventure Effects of Zacian's Behemoth Blade and Zamazenta's Behemoth Bash become more effective, and Max Battle energy fills the meter faster. The post does not state the challenge's target.
GO Pass: Into the Wild costs US$14.99 for the Deluxe tier
From November 9 at 10:00 a.m. to November 15 at 6:00 p.m. local time, the GO Pass and GO Pass Deluxe for Into the Wild are available.

Pokémon GO's post lists the Coin Bag's chance at a Shiny Gimmighoul and the Mystery Box's chance at a Shiny Meltan, but it gives no encounter rates for any Shiny. It also does not say when Dynamax Regidrago will return after this week. For the franchise's console and competitive games, see our pages for Pokémon Champions and Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
