Mega Raids Get a Potential Refresh in Pokémon GO

[lingriiddd]

Fans of Pokémon GO may see a big update to Mega Raids, one of the game’s oldest endgame challenges. The rumored Link Charges currency could make it easier (or more premium) to participate in Mega Raids, including remotely.

The idea has sparked debate among the community: some players worry it could lock essential mechanics behind paywalls, while others are excited for a refresh of the Mega Raid system, which hasn’t changed significantly in years.

This update comes alongside Pokémon GO’s ongoing integration of new Mega Evolutions from Pokémon Legends: Z-A, including Mega Malamar and Mega Victreebel, hinting that Mega Raids could play a bigger role in upcoming in-game events like the GO Tour: Kalos.
