When Hydreigon spawns
| Day | Sunday, November 15, 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. local time (GO Wild Area 2026). |

| Incense | A shared mighty pool spawns from Incense on both days - Hydreigon is in that pool. |
| Exclusive move | Caught during the event it knows Brutal Swing - unavailable outside this window without an Elite TM. |
Catching a mighty Hydreigon
Mighty Pokemon have boosted IV odds, roll XL/XXL more often, and break out of ordinary Poke Balls constantly.
- Switch to a GO Safari Ball as soon as the catch screen opens - they drop from PokeStop and Gym photo-disc spins during event hours (10:00-18:00) and expire when the event ends.
- Golden Razz Berry + curveball + Great/Excellent throw is the combo on top of the Safari Ball.
- 5:45-6:00 p.m. - mighty spawns reportedly tick up in the last 15 minutes of each event day; do a final spin circuit then.
- Regular balls still work if you run out - an Ultra Ball with a Golden Razz is the fallback.
Best movesets
| Use | Moveset |
|---|---|

A glass-cannon Dark/Dragon attacker - Brutal Swing makes it a top-5 Dark raid attacker. Double weak to Fairy, so check the opposing moveset before committing.
