New Mega Level

Now you’ll be able to increase Mega Chandelure’s Mega Level all the way up to Super Max Level for the first time in Pokémon GO. As discovered during Mega Finale, Pokémon that are eligible to unlock Super Max level can learn an additional Charged Attack while they’re Mega Evolved.

Ominous Wind+

Chandelure will now be able to use an additional Charged Attack, Ominous Wind+, when it’s Mega Evolved:

Trainer Battles: 50 power, with a chance of increasing the user’s Attack and Defense by one stage.
Gyms and Raids: 145 power

The power of this attack will increase with the Pokémon’s Mega Level. You must increase a Pokémon’s Mega Level to the third level, Max, before you can increase it to Super Max.

Participate in Mega Raids to help your Pokémon reach Super Max Level as Mega Evolving alone won’t be enough, you’ll need to use that Pokémon’s Mega Energy to power it up.

Where to Find Super Mega Raids

Super Mega Raids will take great teamwork and may only appear at certain Gyms, so to make it easier to find nearby Gyms, Power Spots, and more, Pokémon GO has a new web-based map.

You can visit pokemongo.com/map to see the locations where Super Mega Raids might appear during an event, in addition to those in progress. You can also filter the map to show nearby community meetups days in advance. Typically, Super Mega Raids appear more likely to appear in parks and other similar locations.

Timed Research

Timed Research will be available to Trainers during the event. Complete the research tasks to earn a Premium Battle Pass and an encounter with Tyranitar.

Please note that Timed Research expires. The tasks associated with Timed Research must be completed and their rewards must be claimed before the Timed Research ends.
