November is coming to a close and it's time for Pokemon GO players to leave the Season of Light behind and move into a new era. As The Season of Mythical Wishes kicks off, players are going to get started with an action-packed December that includes a ton of special events and activities to stay busy during the holiday season in the mobile AR game.
Players are in for another busy end of year Community Day that features the return of a ton of favorites along with tons of other events. There's a two-part Pokemon GO holiday special event that is likely going to be very popular and a long list of other activities for players to enjoy as they head out and start taking advantage of all of the Mythical Wishes season bonuses and features that are active in the game starting December 1.
The holidays are always a busy time in Pokemon GO and it seems like 2022 is no exception. In addition to the massive Community Day recap event and the other holiday activities, there will also be a Hoenn Mega Raid Day that features the debut of three brand new Mega evolutions in the game.
