Mega-Evolved Pokémon Debut

The following Pokémon will make its Pokémon GO debut in Super Mega Raids!

New Mega Level: Super Max

Mega Staraptor’s Mega Level can be increased all the way to Super Max Level for the first time in Pokémon GO! Learn more about the new Mega Level here.

Pokémon that are eligible to unlock Super Max Level can learn an additional Charged Attack while they are Mega Evolved. Learn more about additional Charged Attacks here.

Staraptor can use the additional Charged Attack Brave Bird+ while it is Mega Evolved.

• Trainer Battles: 70 power and decreases the user’s Defense by three stages
• Raid Battles: 150 power

The power of this attack will increase with Staraptor’s Mega Level.

You must increase a Pokémon’s Mega Level to Max before you can increase it to Super Max. Participating in Mega Raids awards the Mega Energy needed to power up eligible Pokémon beyond what Mega Evolving alone can provide.

Where can I find Super Mega Raids?

Super Mega Raids will take great teamwork and may only appear at certain Gyms.

Visit the Pokémon GO Map to see where Super Mega Raids might appear during an event, as well as those already in progress. You can also filter the map or check nearby Events to find community meetups and plan ahead.

If you’ve never attended a meetup before, Super Mega Raids are a great reason to go out and meet your local community of Trainers for the first time. Learn more and find your community.
