Pokémon GO Could Add New Currency for Mega Raids
-

Pokémon GO might be shaking up one of its most popular endgame features, Mega Raids, with the introduction of a new currency called Link Charges. According to prominent leaker The Pokemod Group, these items could replace traditional Raid Passes for entering Mega Raids, including Remote Raids.
The files suggest that Link Charges may be earned through Weekly Challenges, Campfire check-ins, or Gifts, though they could also be a premium in-game currency. Images of Link Charges in the files show multiple bundles that may soon appear in Pokémon GO’s shop.
The change is part of a broader focus on Mega Pokémon, likely tied to the recent release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A and the Mega Dimension DLC, which introduced over 40 new Mega Pokémon, including Mega forms of all three Kalos starters.
