Eternatus Returns in Dynamax Trails, and Every Non-Legendary Dynamax Comes Back
By Matt · Published 
Eternatus is coming back to Pokémon GO in the Dynamax Trails event, 16 to 23 November 2026. If you haven't got one yet, it's free in the event GO Pass, and if you have, you get 100 Candy instead. Eternamax Eternatus appears at Power Spots on 21 November from 11am to 2pm, and beating it gives Eternatus Candy.
For what to farm, how to beat Eternamax Eternatus and every hundo CP, see my Dynamax Trails event guide.
