Pokémon Go is having a new event “A Mega Moment” to integrate the new changes that came to Mega Evolution. The event takes place from April 29 until May 1 and features many opportunities to catch Pokémon that Mega Evolve. Our Pokémon Go “A Mega Moment” event guide lists out the Special Research, increased spawns, and Field Research Tasks.

In addition to the bonuses below, Mega Kangaskhan is making its debut in raids with this event. You should definitely take advantage of its appearance in raids, if you don’t have one yet.

Kangaskhan is usually a regional Pokémon only found in Australia, so there will be a special Kangaskhan Raid Day on May 1. To help out with this, you can get up to five free Raid Passes from spinning disks at gyms, but only if you don’t have a free (orange) pass since you can only old one at a time.

Event-themed Field Research Tasks will also reward random Mega Energy for any of the Pokémon that have Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Go (except Kangaskhan).
