What’s Confirmed for October 24

Niantic has announced that Dynamax Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf make their Pokémon GO Dynamax debut in five-star Max Battles on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. This is a genuine three-hour window, not an all-day event, so timing your spoofing route matters more than usual.

It’s the first time any of the three lake guardians have appeared as Dynamax bosses, and the region-lock structure (one bird per continent) means this is effectively three separate regional events happening on the same calendar date.

Regional Lock: Which Bird Appears Where

The three Pokémon do not share Power Spots. Dynamax Uxie appears only in the Asia-Pacific region, with capture CP between 1370 and 1442, and 1442 CP marking 100% IVs. Dynamax Mesprit is locked to Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India, catchable between 1669 and 1747 CP, with 1747 as the perfect IV cap. Dynamax Azelf covers the Americas and Greenland, running from 1752 to 1834-1835 CP at 100% IVs.

All three can appear shiny from a Max Battle encounter. If you’re a UK account with no spoofing, Mesprit is the only one you’ll ever see at a Power Spot on this date.

Why This One Needs Spoofing

Most Max Battle Days feature a single global boss, so there’s nothing to route-plan around. This event splits the roster by continent, and Niantic doesn’t let you manually switch your account’s assigned region, it’s tied to your device’s actual GPS location at the moment you interact with a Power Spot.

A legit UK player physically can’t collect Uxie or Azelf without flying to Tokyo or New York for the weekend. A rooted phone running a GPS-spoofing client is the only practical substitute, which is exactly the gap this event creates for anyone running PGSharp or FGL Pro on a dedicated bot phone.

Dynamax Uxie Mesprit Azelf Max Battle Day Spoofing Route for UK Trainers

Because the event runs 2pm-5pm local time in each region rather than a single UTC window, the three windows land at different points in a UK trainer’s day. On October 24, 2026, the UK is still on BST (UTC+1). Japan doesn’t observe daylight saving, so Tokyo’s 2pm-5pm JST window falls at roughly 6am-9am UK time, good for an early coffee-and-spoof session for Uxie.

Mesprit needs no travel at all since the UK sits in the EMEA group, so its 2pm-5pm window is simply 2pm-5pm at home. New York is still on EDT (UTC-4) that week, so its 2pm-5pm window lands at roughly 7pm-10pm UK time, perfect for Azelf after dinner. That gives you three clean sessions in a single Saturday without overlapping.

Best Power Spot Density for Each Leg

Power Spots cluster the same way Gyms and PokéStops do, around parks, transit hubs, campuses and dense city blocks. For the Tokyo leg, areas like Shibuya or Shinjuku have enough Power Spot density that you won’t need to teleport more than a street or two between battles.

For the New York leg, Central Park and the blocks around Union Square work the same way. For Mesprit, use whatever your own local dense PokéStop cluster already is, most UK town centres have enough Power Spots within a short walk once they’re all hosting Dynamax Battles for the event. Check a GPX route in advance rather than improvising on the day.

Event Bonuses Worth Building Your Session Around

Beyond the three debuts, Niantic has confirmed a solid bonus stack for the day: the Max Particle collection limit rises to 1,600, every Power Spot hosts a Dynamax Battle instead of the usual rotation, Power Spots refresh more frequently with extra spots active, and Power Spots hand out 8x Max Particles.

You also get two additional Special Trades (three total for the day), and the daily Remote Raid Pass limit doubles from 10 to 20 between October 23 at 5pm and October 24 at 8pm PDT. On top of that, exploring gives 2x Max Particles and needs only 1/4 the usual distance, active from midnight to 5pm local time on the 24th.

Is the Event Ticket Worth Buying

The optional ticket costs $4.99 (expect roughly £3.99-£4.49 depending on your App Store region’s pricing tier) and unlocks Timed Research worth 1 Max Mushroom, 25,000 XP and 6,400 Max Particles, plus a passive 2x XP bonus from Max Battles for the day. There’s also a separate Ultra Ticket Box at the same $4.99 price that bundles the ticket with 800 extra Max Particles.

If you’re already running three regional sessions in one day, the particles alone make this worth buying since you’ll burn through them fast powering up three different legendaries at once.

Rooted Android Setup Checklist Before the 24th

Don’t wait until the morning of to test your setup. Confirm your spoofing app’s GPS override is actually sticking in-game, not just on the map screen, and do a dry run teleport to Tokyo and New York a day or two early to make sure the client doesn’t flag a speed violation jumping continents.

If you’re running a dedicated device for this, our rooted Android phone guide covers which models handle rapid location jumps cleanly without the GPS drift that trips soft bans.

PGSharp Settings for Fast Region Switching

Three teleports in one day is more jumping than most events ask for, so get your joystick and teleport settings dialled in beforehand. Set your teleport speed to instant rather than simulated walking for the big continental jumps, there’s no reason to “walk” from London to Tokyo.

If you’ve had issues with coordinates not registering or the app freezing mid-jump, work through our PGSharp teleport troubleshooting guide before event day rather than during your 6am Tokyo window.

Shiny Odds and IV Notes

All three lake guardians can appear shiny from their Max Battle encounters during this event, matching the standard debut-shiny treatment Niantic gives most new Dynamax legendaries. There’s no boosted shiny rate confirmed beyond the normal debut odds, so treat every encounter as a fresh roll rather than assuming a guaranteed shiny bonus.

For IVs, remember the CP ranges only tell you the capture window, the actual 100% IV CP for each (1442 for Uxie, 1747 for Mesprit, roughly 1834-1835 for Azelf) is what you want to screenshot and compare against on capture.

What If You Can Only Realistically Do Two Regions

Not everyone wants three alarm-clock sessions in one Saturday. If you’re picking two, Mesprit is free regardless since it’s your home region, so the real choice is Uxie versus Azelf.

Azelf’s evening window (7pm-10pm UK time) is far easier to fit around a normal day than Uxie’s 6am start, so if sleep matters more than completionism, do Mesprit and Azelf and catch Uxie on a future rerun or Max Monday rotation instead.

Ban Risk and Account Safety

Jumping between three continents in a single day is exactly the kind of location pattern that trips automated flagging if your spoofing setup isn’t clean, so read up on what actually gets accounts banned before you start teleporting.

Our ban wave triggers breakdown covers the specific patterns Niantic’s detection looks for, which is worth fifteen minutes of reading before a day this aggressive on movement.

Dynamax Uxie Mesprit Azelf Max Battle Day Spoofing: key takeaways

Dynamax Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf debut as region-locked 5-star Max Battle bosses on October 24, 2026, 2pm-5pm local time per region: Uxie in Asia-Pacific, Mesprit in EMEA/India, and Azelf in the Americas/Greenland. A rooted Android with a spoofing client is the only way a UK trainer catches all three in one day, by timing teleports around each region’s local 2pm-5pm window, roughly 6am Tokyo, 2pm at home, and 7pm New York in UK time.

All three can be shiny, and the event stacks solid Max Particle, Power Spot and Remote Raid Pass bonuses worth planning sessions around. For authoritative background, consult the official Max Battle Day announcement alongside this practical guide.

Buying recommendation

If you’re going to attempt all three regions in one day, a dedicated rooted phone set up specifically for this kind of rapid-fire teleporting makes the whole thing far smoother than trying to juggle it on your daily driver, and we sell exactly that at pogospoofing.com, pre-configured and ready to log in.
