Pokemon GO

Deecember is right around the corner and as the final Season of Light Battle Raids come to a close, it's time for Pokemon GO players to start looking forward to the rest of the holiday season. December is always an action-packed month in the mobile AR game, so trainers should prepare for the Season of Mythical Wishes to fire off with non-stop events and activities throughout its first 30 days.

When it comes to PvE gameplay, many Pokemon GO trainers are likely looking forward to diving into a fresh rotation of Legendary and Mega Battle Raids. December has a solid selection of challenging bosses coming to the game (including three Mega Raid debuts) at both of those tiers, so players will want to start assembling their counter rosters early. The month also features some weekly Raid Hours that should be helpful for those looking to group up and take on a handful of raids in a single evening this month.

The first December Legendary and Mega Battle Raids kick off with the December 1 rotation, but trainers can already start looking ahead to everything else that is confirmed to be arriving between now and December 31, 2022. The Hoenn starter Mega Evolutions are going to steal a lot of the spotlight this month, but that's just the tip of the iceberg in a pretty powerful lineup of Raid options...
