As the year draws to a close, Pokémon GO announces its inaugural Mega Raid Day for 2025, featuring the much-loved Mega Gallade. Enthusiastic players are encouraged to allocate time to fully engage in this special Raid Day.
Since its inception in 2020, Pokémon GO has introduced Mega Evolutions, offering a fresh take on temporary Pokémon transformations. While many players are captivated by the recently added Dynamax and Gigantamax forms, it’s important to note that more Mega Evolutions await their debut in Pokémon GO. This is especially relevant as we approach the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, expected to showcase entirely new Mega Evolutions.

On January 11, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time, players will have a significant chance to encounter Mega Gallade in raids. This exclusive three-hour window also presents the possibility of encountering a Shiny variant of the Pokémon. Participants can benefit from enhanced access to Raid Passes, with the possibility of obtaining up to five additional passes from Pokémon Gyms. Furthermore, the cap on Remote Raids will increase to 20, effective from January 10 at 4:00 p.m. PST until January 11 at 7:00 p.m. PST.
