Another Mega Evolution makes its way to Pokémon GO and this time it’s Mega Heracross. Treated as a regional exclusive in Pokémon GO, this will be the perfect time for Trainers around the world to finally add Heracross to their team and Pokédex. And Heracross’ shiny version if you’re lucky….

The Bug-type Pokémon-themed event, Bug Out, is back this year! Meg Heracross debuts, but a day after the Bug Out event starts. No worries, as Mega Heracross will still be available in Mega Raids after the event ends (and it’s a great time to catch Heracross, a regional exclusive). Other…

For Pokémon GO’s next event, the XXS to XXL size mechanic is being featured.

During the previous Pokémon GO seasons, Niantic started selling a month-long paid Timed Research ticket (which came with additional month-long bonuses).

Every month, Niantic spotlights a Pokémon for Pokémon GO’s Research Breakthrough encounter. This feature was added to the game in April 2018 as part of the Field Research system.
