With the GO Nature Zone, Pokémon GO gets its third major annual event. And it brings along many interesting contents.
What kind of event is it? The global part of the Nature Zone is a new event, which, alongside the GO Fest and the GO Tour, represents the third major event running over an entire weekend.
When is the GO Nature Zone taking place? The event will take place for the first time on November 23 and 24, 2024, each day from 10:00 AM to 6:15 PM.
What are the highlights? In addition to the return of 2 legendary Pokémon, there will be a new type of monsters: the powerful Pokémon. Also included are the new Safari Ball, the debut of Riffex along with its Dynax and Gigadynamax forms, as well as other interesting Pokémon and contents.

Legendary Pokémon for the GO Nature Zone – Protos and Ancient Forms
