Event guide

Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y in Mega Raids is an upcoming Pokémon GO raid event with 2 raid bosses. Below is a quick, honest breakdown of what to prioritise and how to get the most out of it.

What to prioritise

None of the featured Pokémon are meta-defining for PvP or raids, so treat this one as a relaxed collection and shiny-hunting window rather than a build-your-team event.

Shiny hunting

There are 3 shinies available during this event. Boosted spawn events are among the best shiny-hunting windows in the game, so tap everything you can and keep your Poké Ball stock topped up.

Is it worth your time?

Optional, but nice for collectors. Nothing here is essential for your competitive roster, but the shiny odds and featured spawns make it a pleasant, low-pressure window. Set a reminder so you don't miss the start.
