A new month has arrived, which means that Pokemon GO players have another round of exciting events to keep themselves busy. Although the Halloween events are wrapping up and the weather is starting to get colder in many regions, hopefully the rewards and features available thanks to the November 2020 events for the mobile AR game will be enough to keep players out and active.
November 2020 is jam-packed with PoGO events, including not one, but two Community Day events. There will also be weekly 5-star Raid Boss rotations, some enticing Spotlight Hours, and a mysterious Limited Research event taking place later in the month that will feature a surprise Pokemon. There's a lot to keep track of and Pokemon GO players won't have much downtime as the holidays approach if they want to take advantage of every event's bonuses.
The new month of activities is already live and players can currently cash in their seven stamps for this month's Research Breakthrough reward, Togetic. Although usually it takes a Legendary Research Breakthrough to get players excited about the weekly reward, Togetic is a pretty popular Pokemon, so hopefully this encounter reward goes over well with the community.

Limited Research on November 28
Mysterious Limited Research on November 28th - Look forward to a Limited Research event happening on November 28, 2020! The featured Pokémon will be announced at a later date.
Two Community Day Events
There will be two Community Day events during November 2020. The first takes place on Sunday, November 15, and features Electabuzz, while the second occurs on the following Saturday, November 21, and features Magmar.
At this point, those are all of the confirmed events coming during November 2020. There's always a chance that players will be surprised with some additions, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates. With the holidays right around the corner, it seems more likely than ever that there may be additional events that Niantic plans to keep secret until they are launched. Usually Thanksgiving isn't a major celebration in Pokemon GO (although it has featured some exciting double XP rewards), but the winter season in general has been full of surprise events in recent years.
As trainers continue working through these amazing events, they may want to keep hunting down the best Unova Pokemon in the game if improving their Battle Raid rosters and completing their Pokedex is their primary goal. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
