Big things are happening in Pokémon GO! With the arrival of Mega Kangaskhan and the improved Mega Evolution system, Niantic is hosting a Mega Raid Day. Kangaskhan, a regional exclusive in the world of Pokémon GO, will be easier to catch worldwide thanks to the appearance of Mega Kangaskhan in Mega Raids.
To add Kangaskhan to your Pokédex as well as unlock the ability to Mega Evolve a Kangaskhan into Mega Kangaskhan, it’ll be easier than ever to challenge a Mega Kangaskhan during this event. Here’s everything you need to know about this very special Raid Day.
Raid Day – Mega Kangaskhan Raid Day
Begins: Sunday, May 1st, 2022 at 11 a.m. your local time.
Ends: Sunday, May 1st, 2022 at 2 p.m. your local time.
Mega Raids featuring Mega Kangaskhan
