Keldeo Resolute Form Debut and Tales of Transformation (Ends November 30)

Keldeo Resolute Form and Shiny Keldeo Resolute Form in Pokemon GO

Starting tomorrow, November 25, Pokemon GO players can finally access the last steps of the Tales of Transformation Special Research and get their hands on Keldeo’s Resolute form. The form can be changed by feeding Keldeo 50 Candy, and it’ll know the Secret Sword Charged Attack. Also, players can look forward to the debut of Keldeo’s shiny form!

If you purchase the $7.99 Masterwork Research ticket from the shop, you can get a task that leads to an encounter with Shiny Keldeo.

Catch Cup: Tales of Transformation (Ends December 2)

Starting on November 25, players can partake in the Catch Cup: Tales of Transformation leagues. For Great Edition, all Pokemon must be 1500 CP or below and must have been caught during the Tales of Transformation season (September 2 to December 2). Ultra League Pokemon must be at 2500 CP or below, and then you have Master League, which is open to all.

Scraggy Spotlight Hour (November 25)

The Spotlight Hour for November 25 features Scraggy, the Dark/Fighting-type Shedding Pokemon. For an hour (6 pm to 7 pm), Scraggy will spawn more often, and players can look forward to double XP for catching Pokemon.

Two of the best moves for Scraggy and its evolution, Scrafty, are Feint, Snarl, and Foul Play. You can evolve it by feeding it 50 Candy.

Dynamax Lugia (Ends November 30)

Starting on November 29 at 6 am local time and ending on November 30 at 9 pm local time, Pokemon GO players have the chance to battle against Dynamax Lugia for the first time.

It makes its debut in five-star Max Battles and there’s even special timed research available on November 25 that rewards players with Gastly Candy and a Dynamax Gastly encounter. The Gastly line is a great counter for the Dynamax Lugia fight since the Flying/Psychic-type legendary is weak to Ghost-type attacks, as well as Dark, Electric, Ice, and Rock. Oh, and there’s also a chance to find a shiny Lugia, so keep your eyes peeled.

Pikipek Trumbeak Toucannon Pokemon Anime

And to round out this week in Pokemon GO, the community day for this coming Sunday features the Woodpecker Pokemon, Pikipek. From 2 to 5 pm local time, Pikipek will spawn more often, and players can buy a ticket to get access to Special Research that rewards Pikipek Candy and encounters. There will be free field research tasks that reward encounters as well, which have a chance of being shiny, by the way.

You can evolve Pikipek into Trumbeak and Toucannon with 25 and 100 Candy, respectively. If you manage to get Toucannon during the event (or up to four hours afterward), it’ll know the Beak Blast charged attack.
