Mysterious Mega Pokémon Debuts In Pokémon GO In August 2022

Speculation is currently running wild within the Pokémon GO community regarding a mysterious aspect of this past week's content announcement for August 2022. The announcement details Mega Raids for the entire month except for one slot, which was left unannounced. The placement of this mysterious Mega Raid feature, along with datamined information, has led trainers to speculate over which Mega will be released. Let's take a look ourselves.

Here are the Mega Pokémon that will appear in Mega Raids in Pokémon GO this August 2022:

• Sunday, July 31st, 2022, at 10 AM until Wednesday, August 10th, 2022 at 10 AM: Mega Abomsanow
• Wednesday, August 10th, 2022, at 10 AM until Thursday, August 18th, 2022 at 10 AM: TBA

• Thursday, August 25th, 2022, at 10 AM until Wednesday, August 31st, 2022 at 10 AM: Mega Ampharos

So what is happening from Wednesday, August 10th, 2022, at 10 AM until Thursday, August 18th, 2022, at 10 AM that has Trainers speculating? That would be the annual Bug Out! event. This upcoming event paired with a datamine suggesting that this Mega was updated in the game, has led Trainers to expect Pokémon GO will soon release the Bug/Steel-type Pokémon…
