Can you get Mega Diancie through Mega Raids during Pokemon GO Fest 2023?

You might be wondering how you can catch Diancie and its mega form in the game. We were sure about Diancie being available to trainers through Special Research tasks during the GO Fest events. However, a recent leak hints towards Mega Diancie Raids.

A recent leak that surfaced on Twitter has revealed some information regarding Diancie in GO. Twitter user “poke_miners” recently posted the following about Diancie:

“Buddy_walked_mega_energy_award: 100; disable_transfer_to_pokemon_home: true; raid_boss_distance_offset: 2.0.”

While the first two are self-explanatory, the third line of the picture has made a stir in the Pokemon community. People are speculating that the “raid boss distance offset” has something to do with Mega Diancie coming to Mega Raids in GO.

We are not entirely sure if this is true, but since it is customary for mega evolutions to be featured in Mega Raids, the same may be true for Mega Diancie.
