Previously, it was believed that we would participate in Mega Raids featuring Mega Garchomp on November 11 from 2 PM to 5 PM. However, a post from the official Japanese GO X account revealed that Mega Garchomp is here to stay for a few days.

According to the post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Mega Garchomp will be featured in Pokemon GO’s Mega Raids from November 12, 2023, at 10 AM local time through November 16, 2023.

It was rumoured that a new Mega Evolution would be featured around the same time, but we did not know what it actually was. People speculated that Mega Gallade would debut, but it was unlikely that Niantic would release two major Mega Evolutions simultaneously.

Thanks to the Japanese GO community, we now know that Mega Garchomp is going to make moves in GO’s Mega Raids.
