Pokémon GO November 2024 Raids

Five Star Raids

Lugia
November 4-18
Dialga (Origin Form)
November 18-27
Palkia (Origin Form)
November 18-27
Zacian
November 27 - December 3
Zamazenta
November 27 - December 3
Regieleki
November 27 - December 3
Regidrago
November 27 - December 3

November 2024 in Pokémon GO has some amazing Raids. Lugia will return with its unique move, Aeroblast. That means that every Lugia caught will already know its most powerful Attack, saving you having to use an Elite Charged TM.

The special moves don't stop there. Both Origin Form Dialga and Palkia will be able to know their special Adventure Effect moves between November 18 and November 24. This isn't guaranteed, but there is a chance. We originally expected to only have the two Wild Area event days to get this move, so it is nice to know we have more time.

Additionally, Tapu Koko and Nihilego will appear in special one off Raid Hours on November 19 and November 20.

Finally, no doubt as part of the Max Out: Finale event, we will have Zacian, Zamazenta, Regieleki and Regidrago in Raids. The two Regi's were previously only in Elite Raids, so this will be the best chance Trainers have had to add these Pokémon to their collection.

Mega Raids

Mega Manectric
November 4-11
Mega Salamence
November 11-18
Mega Beedrill
November 18-27
Mega Ampharos
November 18-27
Mega Altaria
November 27 - December 3

November 2024 Mega Raids in Pokémon GO bring back a Mega Pokémon that we haven't seen for some time in Mega Manectric. This will provide a great chance for newer players to get their hands on some Mega Energy for this Pokémon. We're also going to have two different Mega Pokémon in rotation at the same time between November 18 and 27.

Shadow Raids

Pokémon GO Shadow Raids in November 2024 will see Shadow Suicune back in Raids.

Other highlights this month

As always, there will be a range of Pokémon GO Spotlight Hours in Novemver 2024. Notably, one of the Pokémon featured this month is Combee. This Pokémon yields 750 Stardust per catch. This will be boosted to 1500 (2250 with a Star Piece) thanks to the 2x Catch Stardust bonus. The November 5 Spotlight Hour will have a 2x Transfer Candy, a great chance to clear out your storage.

Enjoy everything November 2024 has in store for you, Trainers!
