It looks to be a very Super Mega Raid Day heavy season, with a whopping 4 Super Mega Raid Day events!
What we expect these events to be
Community Day
With all the First Partner Pokémon having had their own Community Day now, the rest of the year is now rather up in the air with mystery!
Let’s wildly speculate about who else may feature! Tympole is a Pokémon we have expected will get a Community Day at some point, along with Venipede. Tympole has some PvP usage, and Venipede ultimately evolves into Scolipede which has a new Mega Evolution in Pokémon Legends: Z-A too. Other fun options could be Darumaka or Sandile, both of which have some great meta potential. We can daydream that Larvesta will get a Community Day, and I believe it will at some point, but it is probably a little soon for it still. A more traditional option would be Hatenna, or even Smoliv which would both fit for a seasonal sort of vibe. We’d all love a thematic Halloween Community Day, which arguably Hatenna could be, but other possible choices could be Impidimp, or Sandile as both are Dark types.
Super Mega Raid Days
There are a ton of new options with the addition of Super Mega Raid Days! Some are so meta-relevant that they feel like they might be saved for a little while, but there are a lot of fun potential choices. Mega Chandelure, Mega Froslass, Mega Golurk, or Mega Darkrai could be fun for Halloween itself. Check out the full list of Z-A Mega Evolutions, and Z-A DLC Mega Evolutions to make your top picks!
Hatch Day
The Hatch Day also offers some intrigue, as many of the baby Pokémon have now had a dedicated hatch day event. Those that haven’t include Pichu, Budew, Igglybuff, Wynaut, Bonsly, Chingling, Mantyke and Toxel. Mime Jr. is a regional so we don’t anticipate it getting a Hatch Day like most of the other baby Pokémon. Budew has not had a Hatch Day, but it did feature in 2km eggs during Roselia Community Day back in 2021, so we think it won’t be Budew. My personal preference would be to see Chingling, Mantyke or Toxel be featured, as they are some of the rarer baby Pokémon. Plus, Chingling evolves into Chimecho, which gains access to a Mega Evolution in the Mega Dimensions DLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
Max Battle Day
We also have a Max Battle Day! It doesn’t state if it is a Gigantamax or not, so it could potentially be a Legendary Dynamax.
