It's almost the end of the month, so I've got to deal with the rollup for events in Pokémon Go during that time - moreover since many of the past ones have been on this day. This one also becomes the final one of this season that has been billed as one that is quite transformative. For this month, it seems appropriate that the events for it represent a "tour de force" of transformation as the last batch of events for the season with all their manifestations.
While still within the confines of an event that started last month, November 1 played host to a Max Battle Day for Gigantamax Garbodor with all the usual perks (more Max Particles from Power Spots and walking, more of its appearances in Power Spots, a lead-up Timed Research from the start of the week, and an extra paid ticket among others) along with a Special Trade bonus. With the way that the Pokémon form is, it was a scary good addition (or adjunct) to the scary things that were put in place last month.
Moving into the heart of the "tour", the Enchanted Hollow became present from November 4 to 9. The event was the debut of the Tarountula family, one of the Bug type; naturally, there were also more Bug types (and other "forested" species) in the wild, raids, Field Research, and even Mossy Lure Module encounters, also for the new species. Paras and Stantler had Shiny boosts, and PokéStop XP and Lure Module lengths were doubled. Collection Challenges gave an impetus for the event, further for the debuting species, and the paid ticket with its Timed Research gave more encounters and a spread of beneficial items. As the event started, PokéStops became decorated with a soft forest glow, and this continued into the next event, as this event is also in some ways the complementary event for the "Live" edition of Go Wild Area that took place over the weekend of the event.
For the Global edition, the accompanying event was Into the Wild from November 10 to 14. This event featured Pokémon of the Fairy and Dark types in the wild, Field Research (amidst item rewards) and Power Spots (plus Dynamax Toxtricity), while there were bright and dark raid bosses throughout the week with Raid Hours in each day. The captured raid bosses could also have a special background, the same as would be for Cresselia and Darkrai in the big event itself. Remote raid limits were increased during the week and lifted in the weekend, while Frustration could be removed with a Charged TM. The event's Go Pass, also serving as the one for the big event, had the expected item rewards plus new avatar items and the Silver Bottle Cap for those who paid for its Deluxe track. Other paid novelties of the event were other avatar items and a ticket with a Timed Research with premium bonuses of lightness and darkness.
After a little bit of a break from Go Wild Area, Trainers needed to keep their spirits up with the High Voltage event from November 18 to 22. This event focused on the debut of Shiny Morpeko, which could be obtained from various ways throughout the event. In line with the event's title, Electric-type Pokémon were found in the wild (and Field Research), though Emolga, Dedenne, and Togedemaru also had partial focus with increased Shiny chances, augmented by bonuses of double XP for good captures and double Stardust for all captures. A Collection Challenge upped the ante for capturing, and the paid Timed Research had supreme bonuses. Some Trainers might have been totally "electrified" during this event.
Keeping things going in the weekend as the final days of the above event was a Dynamax Eevee Max Battle Weekend from November 21 to 24. Similar to this month's earlier Max Battle Day, Eevee appeared in more Power Spots and more frequently, and more Max Particles from Power Spots could be earned. Eevee (regular) also appeared in the wild and two Collection Challenges got Trainers going to battle the Pokémon and evolve it as necessary. Though the Pokémon may not see much use, its appeal is still very nice.
The big finale of the month and season is the Final Justice event that started on November 25 and will end on November 30. That "final justice" involves the debut of Resolute Form for Keldeo, an opportunity to get Shiny Keldeo by purchasing a new Masterwork Research, and uniting it with the three "musketeers" in raids, for which an extra free raid pass each day is at hand. Complementing all of these are species of the Fighting and Water types in the wild, other raids, and Field Research task encounters. Collection Challenges involve collecting triads and the paid ticket furnishes other premium bonus items that really might help in delivering the "final justice" with the Pokémon.
Over the past three months, the transformations in Pokémon Go have really become evident, but especially so with the above "tour de force" involving this season's big paid event, a couple of interesting Max forms, some Shiny additions, and a fascinating combative change of form. In the final moments of that "tour", some added transformations may still be in order to keep things going within the season and even beyond into the next one.
