Following in the footsteps of Pokémon GO Fest and Pokémon GO Tour, this brand new event is coming in November!

Trainers who purchase a Pokémon GO Wild Area: Global ticket by October 22—and play Pokémon GO between October 15 and October 22—will receive Timed Research that awards early access to a themed avatar item, the Toxel Mask.

Introducing mighty Pokémon!
This year’s Pokémon GO Wild Area will have plenty of Electric- and Poison-type Pokémon, but that’s not all! Trainers may also find themselves in encounters with unusually powerful opponents known as mighty Pokémon! All mighty Pokémon have some shared traits.
- More likely to have high Attack, Defense, and HP ratings
