Pokemon Go is adding a new Mega Evolution, new avatar options, and more.
A new event is coming to Pokemon Go next week, just in time for the debut of a new Mega Evolution. The Bug Out event begins Friday, April 12th at 10 a.m. local time, and will see the game swarmed by Bug-type Pokemon. As Niantic teased last month, Mega Heracross will be making its Pokemon Go debut on April 13th, when it will begin appearing in Mega Raids.
Burmy and CombeeWhile the Bug Out event is focusing on Bug-types as a whole, Burmy and Combee are getting a bit of extra focus. Through the end of the event, players will have an increased chance of encountering both of their Shiny forms. The game is also adding new avatar items based on both Pokemon. For Burmy, there will be three different earring options, with each one based on a different cloak type .
Pokemon RaidsIn addition to Mega Heracross appearing in Mega Raids, Bug-type Pokemon will be appearing in one-star and three-star Raids. A new change has been made to Raids, and now when two or more players complete an in-person Raid, the Gym will see more Pokemon appearing around it for a 15 minute span. The change is somewhat similar to one that was made to Pokemon Go Community Days last year.
