With Pokémon GO’s GO Wild Area event over and the Season of Max out about to end, there’s one more event Niantic has planned. To send off the season, more Galar region Pokémon debut and some return in Raids. (For more details about the Season of Max Out, you can check out our Season of Max Out guide hub.)
Now, check out what’s happening during the Max Out Finale event with our guide below:

Pokémon debuts – Galarian Corsola, Cursola, Shiny Regieleki, and Shiny Regidrago
During the Max Out Finale event, there are four notable debuts:
