The Season of Mythical Wishes continues with the Winter Holiday event, which has brought Mega Glalie to Pokémon Go. Don’t forget to partake in the new Go Battle League season.
Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
Air Adventures also continues celebrating the Mega Evolution rework with the release of Mega Latias and Mega Latios. These are the first legendary Mega Evolutions to appear in Pokémon Go, so it’s a good idea to know both Mega Latias’ weaknesses and Mega Latios’ weaknesses before battling them.
If you do successfully capture either Latias or Latios, maybe even both, during Air Adventures, then you’ll discover they know a move exclusive to this event. Below you’ll find said exclusive moves, along with how powerful each one is in trainer battles, gyms and raids:
Latias - Mist Ball (Psychic Charged Attack)
Trainer Battles - 120 power and the chance of lowering the opposing Pokémon’s Attack Gyms and Raids - 105 power
Latios - Luster Purge (Psychic Charged Attack)
Trainer Battles - 120 power and the chance of lowering the opposing Pokémon’s Defence Gyms and Raids - 100 power
Alongside these new Mega Pokémon, you can also battle Charizard, Lapras and Togekiss in three-star raids. Air Adventures also sees a welcome return to Flying Pikachu - one of Pikachu’s many different costumes. Flying Pikachu can be caught through a variety of means during the event, including appearing in the wild alongside the following Pokémon:
Charizard Jigglypuff Meowth Psyduck Doduo Magikarp Mantine Wingull Swablu Drifloon
Finally, any 7km egg collected during Air Adventures will have the following egg pool: Tier One
Togepi Mantyke Emolga Noibat
Have fun during the Air Adventures event!
