Heading To Hoenn Mega Raid Day Is Happening Today In Pokémon GO

Today is the Heading to Hoenn Mega Raid Day event in Pokémon GO. There will be more Mega Evolutions unlocked in the game than we've gotten in most entire Seasons. We are getting Mega Raids featuring Mega Sceptile, Mega Blaziken, and Mega Swampert, which is all three Hoenn Starter Mega Evolutions in one fell swoop.  That's one hell of a way to kick off the Season of Mythical Wishes. Let's get into the details of this intense Raid Day and be sure to stay tuned to Bleeding Cool today for Raid Guides.
