At this point, those are all of the confirmed events coming during November 2020. There’s always a chance that players will be surprised with some additions, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates. With the holidays right around the corner, it seems more likely than ever that there may be additional events that Niantic plans to keep secret until they are launched. Usually Thanksgiving isn’t a major celebration inPokemon GO (although it has featuredsome exciting double XP rewards), but the winter season in general has been full of surprise events in recent years.
