Get ready for a Mega Absol Raid Day in Pokémon GO.

On a special event day, Mega Absol will be making a comeback in Pokémon GO. This occasion brings along several thrilling perks, and moreover, introduces a fresh move for Mega Absol.

Although it may seem less thrilling compared to introducing a brand new Pokémon, this opportunity presents itself as a fantastic chance to obtain a desirable shiny, earn a significant amount of Experience Points (XP) and Stardust, all while enjoying the gameplay of Pokémon GO.

Here are all the event details and bonuses you need to know for this Raid Day.
