Pokémon Go’s 2026 "Into the Wild" event rolls into this weekend's big Wild Area flagship event, so if you need to do some Max Battles to catch up on building a good party, this is the time. Dynamax Regidrago and Dynamax Meltan will be making their debuts during this, so if you like collecting special Dynamax Pokémon, now's your chance. This event runs from Nov. 9-13.
During this event, Meltan can also be shiny when you use a Mystery Box and the cooldown between Mystery Box uses will be reduced. Additionally, some of the legendary Pokémon caught during this event will know legacy moves: Registeel will know Metal Claw, Latias will know Mist Ball, Latios will know Luster Purge, and Regidrago will know Dragon Breath. Below, we list all the other bonuses for Pokémon Go's "Into the Wild" 2026 event, including information about the Go Pass and the Collection Challenge.
This event features a Go Pass with 100 main ranks. You can earn points towards this pass by winning raids, winning Max Battles, hatching eggs, and catching Pokémon. There are some of the usual goodies in this pass, including Incense, Lucky Eggs, and Pokémon encounters, but the crown jewel lies at the end: at Rank 100, you'll get a Dynamax Meltan.
If you pay $14.99 for the deluxe pass, you'll also unlock a Silver Bottle Cap, as well as the deluxe bonuses listed below. This is the pass that will roll into the global Wild Area event, so don't fret too much if you can't seem to complete it by Friday. During the weekend, the daily point cap will be removed, and if you plan on going out and playing during the Wild Area event, you'll likely complete the pass fairly quickly just from playing the game.
This event actually brought back Collection Challenges. If you catch the following before the event ends, you'll get a reward: Reward: Dynamax Ralts encounter, 5,000 XP, and 5,000 Stardust Spinning a PokéStop during the event period may yield one of these tasks: Thanks to Leek Duck for confirming the rewards we were unable to confirm ourselves. These Pokémon will spawn more frequently during the event period, according to the event blog post: Players have also reported seeing the following: The following changes to the raid schedule will take place as part of the event: Crowned Sword Zacian, Crowned Shield Zamazenta Registeel (Nov. 11), Regidrago (Nov. 12), Latias and Latios (Nov. 13)
