When does the event start? It starts on November 24th at 8:00 AM local time. The event lasts until November 30th at 10:00 PM. By the way, afterwards the great time of the “GO Beyond” update in Pokémon GO begins.

All information about the Lake Event in Pokémon GO
These are the bonuses: For a perfect overview, we will list all bonuses here:
- Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit appear in raids – However, in Germany, only Mesprit is available
- Magikarp, Goldini, Karpador, Psyduck, Staravia, Bidoof, Shelmet, Abra, Machop, Trubbish, and other Pokémon associated with lakes will appear in the wild and hatch from eggs
- Shiny Goldini makes its first appearance in the game
- There are new rewards for AR mapping tasks
- New quests are available
Additionally, there are the Friendship Weeks in Pokémon GO. The event mainly brings you a lot of XP in the game and will also last until November 30th.
Is only Mesprit available in Germany? In the past, only Mesprit was available in the raids in Germany. This will likely remain the case for this event as well.
