Mighty Pokémon are particularly strong Pokémon that you can find during the Pokémon Go “Go Wild Area” event on Nov. 23 and 24, 2024.
These monstrous beasts are just found in the wild as normal, but all is not what it seems — these fully-evolved Pokémon are beefed up stat-wise and are pretty hard to catch.
Below we explain how mighty Pokémon work, the schedule for mighty spawns, and what mighty Pokémon are the most meta-relevant.
What are mighty Pokémon in Pokémon Go?
Mighty Pokémon are special strong Pokémon that spawn during the Go Wild Area event. It will have the following qualities:
Despite the difficulty in finding and catching, mighty Pokémon are made for combat right away, and are pretty powerful!

Mighty Pokémon special moves
Some mighty Pokémon will have special moves:
Evolving the prior Pokémon into these will also give them their special moves. (For example, if you’re sitting on a high-IV Ivysaur, now is the time to evolve into a Venusaur.)
Which mighty Pokémon should I prioritize?
If you’re trying to be more selective with your Safari Ball usage and don’t know which of these Pokémon fit into the meta, we got your back.
Venusaur, Gyarados, and Pidgeot can all Mega Evolve, meaning that they have the ability to be very powerful if you have the Mega Energy for them. Nab them and set them up with the following moves to blast their enemies away:
Otherwise, Dragonite, Feraligatr, Mamoswine, Electivire, Tyrantrum, and Scolipede are pretty good attackers. You can set them up with the following moves for max effectiveness:
Additionally, Gyarados usually requires a whopping 400 Magikarp Candy to evolve normally, so if you’re looking to get a pretty good Pokémon will skipping the evolution requirement, you should keep your eyes extra-peeled for this flying serpent.
