Mega Audino Raid Day marks the debut of the titular pocket monster in Pokemon GO. The event also provides an increased probability of coming across a Shiny Audino after completing a Mega Raid. With the start of the Mega Audino Raid Day event, trainers can teach Audino the Charged Attack Body Slam (50 power in Trainer battles, gyms, and raids).

Currently, Pokemon GO trainers can also enjoy the proceedings of Stunning Styles, which introduced Paldean Tauros in-game. Players can also participate in the free A Striking Shadow Special Research questline to get a Marshadow encounter.
