Mega Gallade Raid Day Kicks Off in Pokemon Go for New Year

As the holiday season sweeps in with its flurry of festivities, Pokemon Go players still have plenty of time to dive into the action. With the debut of Mega Gallade in Mega Raids this season, the excitement peaks on January 11th with the latest Raid Day. This special event not only brings the chance to encounter the formidable Mega Gallade but also offers a glimmer of hope to spot a Shiny Gallade if luck is on your side.

The latest update to Pokemon Go is packed with enticing event bonuses. From January 10th to the 11th, the Remote Raid Pass limit will be increased, and you can collect up to five additional free Raid Passes from Gym Photo Discs. Plus, the odds of encountering a Shiny Gallade from Mega Raids are boosted, making this a prime opportunity to add this rare variant to your collection.

For those willing to spend a little extra, an Event Ticket priced at $5 offers exclusive benefits. This ticket grants you eight additional Raid Passes from Gym Photo Discs, increases your chances of obtaining Rare Candy XL from Raid Battles, and boosts your rewards with 50% more XP and 2× Stardust from Raid Battles.

The Pokemon Go Web Store is also rolling out a Mega Gallade Raid Day Ultra Ticket Box for $4.99 or the local equivalent, enhancing your Raid Day experience even further.

To join in on the fun, you can download Pokemon Go from the App Store or Google Play. The game is free-to-play with in-app purchases available for those looking to enhance their gameplay.
