Another Mega-Evolved Pokémon is joining Pokémon GO during the Season of Twilight Trails and for this event it’s Chandelure! Though, instead of this being a standard Mega Raid Day, Mega Chandelure will debut in Super Mega Raids. These Raids are more difficult than Mega Raids and will require your own team of Mega-Evolved Pokémon to face Mega Chandelure.
Note: Due to this event rolling out across the globe, it is recommended to utilize the official Pokémon GO map to find if a Gym in your area will host a Super Mega Raid. Only certain Gyms can host this type of Raid.
Now, check out what’s happening during the Chandelure Super Mega Raid Day event with our guide below:
