A new month means new October Raids on Pokémon GO! The hunt never ends, and there are always good opportunities to fill up your Pokédex and improve your team. But while it's not easy to find your favourite Pokémon in the wild, especially if they're mythicals or legends, the developers are holding regular in-game events. Don't miss out on any of the October Raids Pokémon GO. We know the weather is coming and it's getting cold. However, the bravest trainers will be rewarded for their efforts!

Make the most of your playing time by following the full calendar. Knowing that for October, you will have the opportunity to capture a Genesect carrying the Aqua Module (Douse drive) item. A special item that allows you to make your signature attack water-like.
