Pokémon Go Wild Area 2025 habitat hour schedule and every habitat Pokémon
Plus the raid, Max Battle and Mighty Pokémon schedule.
Habitat hours are running throughout Go Wild Area 2025 as they do for all major in-person Pokémon Go events.
There are two habitat hours for Go Wild Area 2025: Global - Lurking Dark and Fanciful Fairy. Each one is based around a specific Pokémon type, with their names giving you a good idea of which one they're focused upon. Both habitat hours will be running throughout Saturday 15th November and Sunday 16th November alongside the raids, Max Battles and Mighty Pokémon encounters.
Every Pokémon Go player can experience the habitat hours, so make sure you know the rotating habitat schedule and take a look at the habitat Pokémon lists for Go Wild Area 2025: Global. I've taken a look at the Incense encounters, Mighty Pokémon schedule, raid and Max Battle schedule on this page too!

Habitat schedule times for Go Wild Area 2025
Go Wild Area 2025: Global runs between 10am to 6pm (local time) on both Saturday 15th November and Sunday 16th November. Both of these days have been divided into two habitat hours - Lurking Dark and Fanciful Fairy.
The habitats switch on the hour every hour, so if your current habitat is Lurking Dark then the next will be Fanciful Fairy and vice versa. This means each habitat hour will be live for a total of eight hours - four on Saturday, four on Sunday. This gives you more than enough time to catch any Pokémon you desire from these hours - namely the newly released Impidimp. (Though I'm hoping to encounter a shiny Hatenna or two…)
No matter where you live, each day will begin with the Lurking Dark hour meaning both days keep to the following schedule:
- 10am to 11am - Lurking Dark
- 11am to 12pm - Fanciful Fairy
- 12pm to 1pm - Lurking Dark
- 1pm to 2pm - Fanciful Fairy
- 2pm to 3pm - Lurking Dark
- 3pm to 4pm - Fanciful Fairy
- 4pm to 5pm - Lurking Dark
- 5pm to 6pm - Fanciful Fairy
Alongside these habitat hours, you'll also find that the Mighty Pokémon spawning in the wild will change depending on the day you're playing. Before we get to them, however, let's take a look at the raid and Max Battle schedule for Go Wild Area 2025: Global…
The High Voltage event is currently running. There's a lot to do in Pokémon Go outside of the current event! First, it's worth learning about the level update. After this, you might want to fight in the Go Battle League, use Party Play, compete in a PokéStop Showcase or explore a Route for its Gift Exchange. Keep an eye out for rare Pokémon and don't forget to collect Max Particles, so you can battle Dynamax Pokémon in Max Battles.
Raid schedule for Go Wild Area 2025
There's two things you need to keep in mind when it comes to the raid schedule for Go Wild Area 2025: Global. The first is that the Pokémon in five-star Shadow Raids will change depending on the day you're partaking in the event.
The second is that, if a Gym is not hosting a Shadow Raid, then a different Pokémon may appear. This includes the current five-star Raid bosses. For simplification, I've kept to the Pokémon being spotlighted during Wild Area 2025 in the schedule. Yet, if you do want to know who else might appear, check out our November 2025 raid schedule guide.
Keep in mind that there's no Remote Raid Pass limit on either Saturday 15th nor Sunday 16th November.

Max Battle schedule for Go Wild Area 2025
The Max Battle schedule for Go Wild Area 2025: Global is an easy one to keep track of since there's only one Pokémon you truly need to know about…
Gigiantamax Grimmsnarl will be appearing in six-star Max Battles on both Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th November.
That's right! We've got a new Gigantamax Pokémon and, unlike last year, you can use Remote Raid Passes to battle it. You may see a few Dynamax Pokémon appearing in Max Battles here and there, but Gigiantamax Grimmsnarl is the true attraction when it comes to Max Battles during this year's Wild Area event.
Mighty Pokémon schedule for Go Wild Area 2025
Mighty Pokémon have made a return for this year's Wild Area 2025. Just like last year's event, Mighty Pokémon are difficult to catch (so perfect for those Go Safari Balls) and have the chance to be incredibly powerful. You might even encounter a shiny one…
