Mega Squads

Maschiff, the Rascal Pokémon, and Mabosstiff, the Boss Pokémon, will make their Pokémon GO debuts!

You might find Maschiff in Eggs, Field Research, or via the GO Pass.

You can use 50 Maschiff Candy to evolve Maschiff into Mabosstiff.

Starting with the Mega Squads event, Mega Beedrill and Mega Houndoom can increase their Mega Level to Super Max for the first time in Pokémon GO.

While Mega Evolved, eligible Beedrill can use the additional Charged Attack Fell Stinger+ (Trainer Battles: 40 power and increases Attack by one stage; Raid Battles: 140 power). Eligible Houndoom can use Dark Pulse+ (Trainer Battles: 60 power; Raid Battles: 150 power). Both attacks grow stronger with Mega Level.

You must increase a Pokémon's Mega Level to Max before increasing it to Super Max. Participate in Mega Raids and catch Weedle, Pidgey, Houndour and Carvanha during the event to earn the Mega Energy needed.

For the first time in Pokémon GO, you'll be able to encounter Shiny Flamigo — if you're lucky!

Flamigo may appear in the wild, in Eggs, or through Field Research and GO Pass encounters.
