Twilight Wishes Announced: Crowned Pikachu, Scarf Espeon and Umbreon, and the Twilight Trails Finale

Twilight Wishes is your second chance at anything you missed in the Twilight Trails season. It’s the season’s last event, running from Tuesday 24 November at 10am to Monday 30 November 2026 at 8pm local time.

What’s happening in Twilight Wishes

• Crowned Pikachu, scarf Espeon and Umbreon, and four Megas are in raids, and every raid boss can be shiny.
• Applin, Maschiff, costume Gengar and Drifblim, and Bramblin come back in Field Research, and Rockruff can turn up in the wild.
• Shiny Staryu and Shiny Elgyem are boosted, and the GO Pass boosts Lucky trades and catch Stardust.
• The GO Pass Deluxe is US$4.99 (A$7.99).

Twilight Wishes raids

• One-star: Pikachu wearing a sun crown, and Pikachu wearing a moon crown.
• Three-star: Espeon wearing a sun scarf, and Umbreon wearing a moon scarf.
• Mega: Mega Beedrill, Mega Houndoom, Mega Sableye and Mega Manectric. All four have great plus moves that debuted this season.

Every raid boss in the event can be shiny. The hundos to look for are 536 CP for sun or moon crown Pikachu, 1811 for sun scarf Espeon and 1221 for moon scarf Umbreon. Mega raids give you the regular Pokémon, so their hundos are Beedrill 1054, Houndoom 1505, Sableye 843 and Manectric 1337.

Lucky Pokémon cost a lot less Stardust to power up.

Twilight Wishes GO Pass

Everyone gets the free GO Pass: Twilight Wishes automatically at 10am on Tuesday 24 November. Rewards include event encounters, a Star Piece, Rare Candy and Mega Energy for Beedrill, Houndoom, Sableye and Manectric. Claim everything by Wednesday 2 December at 8pm local time, because unclaimed rewards expire.

The GO Pass Deluxe costs US$4.99 (A$7.99), or US$6.99 with 6 ranks included, which takes you straight to Rank 7. On top of the free pass rewards, it adds more event encounters, Star Pieces, Premium Battle Passes, an event avatar pose and 3x Stardust for catching at Rank 10 instead of 2x. The avatar pose is a very large balloon, and I’m not sure why it needs to be that big. Bought on the Web Store, the Deluxe also comes with extra Ultra Balls, Max Revives, Max Potions and Premium Battle Passes. You can upgrade at any time and still claim rewards from ranks you’ve already unlocked.
