Excitement brews in the world of Pokemon GO with the announcement of a thrilling raid event featuring the arrival of Mega Heracross. This event promises exclusive rewards and exciting bonuses for all players. Despite its waning popularity since its launch in 2016, Pokemon GO continues to captivate a large audience, thanks to its consistent updates, seasonal refreshes, and ever-growing Pokemon collection.

Each month, Pokemon GO surprises its players with new events and spotlight hours, keeping the game fresh and engaging. The recent addition of three new shiny variants - Kartana, Celesteela, and Wimpod - in April has stirred up excitement among players, although these rare Pokemon will require some luck to catch. Amidst these surprises, Niantic is gearing up to launch the Mega Heracross Raid Day event.

In a recent blog update, Niantic unveiled the details of the highly anticipated Mega Heracross Raid Day event. Scheduled for Saturday, April 13, from 2pm to 5pm local time, this event will feature Heracross in Mega Raids, offering players a chance to encounter a shiny version. To support this event, Niantic will increase the Remote Raid Pass limit to 20 starting on Friday, April 12, until 8pm on Saturday, April 13.

Pokemon GO Mega Heracross Event Highlights

  • Remote Raid Pass limit raised to 20.
  • Receive 5 additional daily Raid Passes by spinning Photo Disks at gyms.
  • Enhanced chances of encountering a shiny Heracross during Mega Raids.
  • Upon completing an in-person raid successfully, extra Pokemon will spawn around the gym for 15 minutes.

For players seeking more from the event, Niantic has introduced premium items available during the Mega Heracross Raid Day. At $5 USD, players can purchase an Event Exclusive Ticket, providing perks like 8 additional Raid Passes, increased odds of obtaining Rare Candy XL from Raid Battles, 50% more XP, and double Stardust from Raid Battles. Additionally, an Ultra Ticket Box will be available on the Pokemon GO Web Store starting April 8 at 10 am, priced at $4.99 USD, and includes a bonus Premium Battle Pass.

Recently, Pokemon GO's in-game shop and premium items have sparked some controversy within the community. An event featuring Team GO Rocket introduced a GO Rocket Box for purchase using Pokecoins. However, the listed price of 300 Pokecoins seemed to have increased to 315 in-game, causing frustration among free-to-play players. With a daily limit of 50 Pokecoins, many players found themselves slightly short of the revised price.
