Pokémon GO’s Season of Timeless Travels’ Winter Wonderland event guide

The last weekend before Christmas is going to be a busy one in Pokémon GO! Before the Winter Holiday Part 1 event switches over to is Part 2 edition, Trainers will get to partake in a weekend of more bonuses, Collection Challenges, and a new Pokémon debut. While Wyrdeer will be available in Raids on Saturday during the Wyrdeer Raid Day event, Trainers can also catch one during this weekend if a Collection Challenge is completed! (For more details about the Season of Timeless Travels, you can check out our overall Season of Timeless Travels guide hub.)

Since the Winter Wonderland event overlaps with two other events, some information from those events has been included. For more details about those events, you can check out the dedicated guides for the Pokémon GO’s Season of Timeless Travels’ Winter Holiday Part 1 event guide and Pokémon GO’s Season of Timeless Travels’ Wyrdeer Raid Day event guide.
