Fight Guzzlord ahead of an eclipse as Pokémon Go prepares to end the Season of Light

The Astral Eclipse is coming.

It’s time for the Season of Light to conclude, with Pokémon Go’s November lineup of content set to close things down and introduce a number of new Pokémon to the game.

Guzzlord is among the newest Pokémon appearing, with a debut coming on Nov. 9 as the new Greedy Gluttons event begins. This will be followed by another Team Go Rocket Takeover and an Elite Raids event before the season reaches its climax. 

The Astral Eclipse event will run from Nov. 23 to 28 as the final piece of content for the Season of Light, which technically ends on Dec. 1. This will likely be where players can finish the season’s ‘A Cosmic Companion’ Special Research and finally evolve Cosmog fully into one of Solgaleo or Lunala. 

There is one special, unrevealed event that will take place during that same period, though we will have to wait for more details on that. But for now, here is what we know about the closing month for the Season of Light.
