Pokémon Go brings back Dynamax Pokémon and Eternatus in November
Pokémon Go’s Dynamax Trails event runs from November 16 to 23.
During the event, every Dynamax Pokémon previously seen in the game may appear in Max Battles.
The main attraction is Eternamax Eternatus returning to Max Battles on November 21, from 11 a.m.
to 2 p.m.
local time.
Players cannot catch Eternamax Eternatus after defeating it, but they can earn Eternatus Candy to power up an Eternatus they catch through GO Pass: Dynamax Trails.
Eternatus can be caught only once during the event, and powering it up requires more Candy than usual.
Players who catch Pokémon in Max Battles may also receive a special background showing when the Pokémon was caught.
A November 19 Spotlight Hour features Grookey, Scorbunny and Sobble, with double Catch Candy and a chance to find their shiny versions.
