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 GO’s Season of Max Out – Max Out Finale

Begins: Wednesday, November 27th, 2024 at 10 a.m. your local time.

Ends: Sunday, December 1st, 2024 at 8 p.m. your local time.

 

Pokémon debuts – Galarian Corsola, Cursola, Shiny Regieleki, and Shiny Regidrago

 

 

During the Max Out Finale event, there are four notable debuts:

  • Galarian Corsola: Galarian Corsola is here and they’re not a regional exclusive! During the event, Galarian Corsola will hatch from 7 km Eggs (that are obtained during the event). It is unclear if after the event they’ll be added to the “everyday” 7 km Egg pool.
    • Cursola: Along with Galarian Corsola, Cursola will also be available. To get Cursola, you’ll need to evolve a Galarian Corsola with 50 Corsola Candies. If you’re lucky and catch a Shiny Galarian Corsola, you can evolve them into a Shiny Cursola.
  • Shiny Regieleki and Shiny Regidrago: Regieleki and Regidrago return during the Max Out Finale event and they’ll be in Five-Star Raids (no Elite Raids here). Plus, their shiny versions will be debuting too!
