Where to Find Super Mega Raids
Super Mega Raids will take great teamwork and may only appear at certain Gyms, so to make it easier to find nearby Gyms, Power Spots, and more, Pokémon GO has a new web-based map.
You can visit pokemongo.com/map to see the locations where Super Mega Raids might appear during an event, in addition to those in progress. You can also filter the map to show nearby community meetups days in advance. Typically it appears Super Mega Raids are more likely to appear in parks and other similar locations.
Mega Evolution System Update
More updates to the Mega Evolution system are coming throughout this year. As part of this update, you will be able to use Mega Energy to quickly increase your Pokémon’s Mega Level for all levels. The amount of Mega Energy required to level up will depend on how many times you’ve Mega Evolved that Pokémon: the more times you’ve Mega Evolved it, the less Mega Energy it will cost.
Timed Research
Timed Research will be available to Trainers during the event. Complete the research tasks to earn a Premium Battle Pass and an encounter with Mawile.
Please note that Timed Research expires. The tasks associated with Timed Research must be completed and their rewards must be claimed before the Timed Research ends.
