These Mega Raids Return To Pokémon GO In 2023

Mega Alakazam, Mega Blastoise, Mega Slowbro, and Mega Lopunny will feature in Mega Raids in Pokémon GO during the month of April 2023.

Niantic has announced the Mega Raids that will be featured in Pokémon GO this month. Let's take a look.

Here are the Mega Pokémon that will appear in Mega Raids in Pokémon GO this April 2023:

• March 28th – April 10th: Mega Alakazam
• April 4th – April 11th: Mega Lopunny
• April 11th – April 17th: Mega Blastoise
• April 17th – May 2nd: Mega Slowbro

With Easter coming and Niantic always going heavy on spring-themed events, Mega Lopunny is no surprise. It's as much of an expectation as Mega Abomasnow come December. Before that, though, we have the carryover feature of Mega Alakazam, who will still be here for quite a while.

The rest of the month goes aquatic. Mega Blastoise will feature first for just a week, followed by Mega Slowbro for a month. Directly after Slowpoke Community Day, this seems like a choice Shiny hunters won't like, but it may be fun to earn Mega Slowbro Energy.

Let's take a look at the rest of the month's content.
