Trainers, get ready for a Mega-powered celebration! Pokémon GO is teaming up with the Pokémon Trading Card Game to honor the release of the Mega Lucario ex Figure Collection. From November 7 to November 30, 2025, players can visit select retail locations to take part in Mega Raids, special Timed Research, and exclusive in-game bonuses.
Event Schedule and Locations
The event runs from Friday, November 7, at 10:00 a.m. to Sunday, November 30, at 8:00 p.m. local time. Participating retailers include:
- United States: Best Buy, GameStop, and Target
- Canada: EB Games
- Australia: EB Games
Mega Lucario Takes the Spotlight
The featured Pokémon for this celebration is none other than Mega Lucario, appearing more frequently in Mega Raids at participating locations. Players might even encounter a Shiny Lucario if luck is on their side.
Timed Research and Rewards
Trainers who visit participating stores and open Pokémon GO during the event can access exclusive Timed Research. Completing these tasks will reward XP, Stardust, an encounter with Lucario, and additional themed prizes.
Exclusive Bonus with Pokémon GO Gift Cards
From November 1 to December 31, 2025, Trainers who purchase and redeem a Pokémon GO gift card from Target or Target.com will receive a Lucario Mask avatar item through the Pokémon GO offer redemption page.
Those who already own the Lucario Mask will instead receive an alternate in-game item of equal value. The offer is limited to one per account and only valid for Target-purchased codes.
Stay Safe and Stay Updated
As always, Niantic reminds Trainers to stay aware of their surroundings and follow local health guidelines while participating. Event details may be subject to change, so players are encouraged to follow Pokémon GO’s official channels for the latest updates.
Get ready to channel your aura and take on Mega Lucario this November!
