Pokemon Go November events start today

There might be only 12 days left in November but the first of two events — Supereffective Week followed by Friend Fest — starts today in Pokemon Go.

As usual, they will include more frequent spawns and an array of bonuses. The events will act as a precursor for the highly anticipated Pokemon Go December Community Day.

Supereffective Week

The Supereffective Week will give you a chance to learn more about which Pokemon are effective against each other, and not so. With the emergence of the Team GO Rocket leaders, learning which types give you an advantage over others has become increasingly important.

The Pokemon Go blog also teases that “you might discover an exciting Pokémon to partner up with in battle against Team GO Rocket!” What this means at this stage, though, is currently unclear.

The event will also give you the chance to encounter a shiny Tentacool.

Start and finish date

The Pokemon Go Supereffective Week will start on Tuesday, November 19, 1pm PST (4pm EST and 9pm GMT). It will conclude exactly a week later on Tuesday, November 26, 1pm PST (4pm EST and 9pm GMT).
