A new Super Mega Raid Day event has been announced for Pokemon GO, and it will mark the in-game debut of Mega Skarmory. Skarmory is one of several Pokemon that received a new Mega Evolution in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, which was released on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 in 2025. Niantic has been slowly adding some of these new Mega Evolutions to Pokemon GO, including Mega Victreebel, Mega Dragonite, and Mega Malamar.
Pokemon GO Reveals June Community Day Details
A fan favorite from Scarlet and Violet gets the spotlight during June’s Pokemon GO Community Day event, and Niantic has revealed full details.
Pokemon GO players will have a chance to get Mega Skarmory during a Super Mega Raid Day event on Saturday, June 27. The event will run from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time, and players may encounter Shiny Skarmory during that time. Niantic will increase the Remote Raid limit between Friday, June 26 at 5 p.m. through Saturday, June 27 at 8 p.m. PT. That window should offer players a better chance at getting friends from different time zones to join them for the event. Pokemon GO‘s Super Mega Raids are a bit tougher, so having more people to play with is definitely a good thing.
