Niantic has officially announced the arrival of Mega Audino in Pokemon Go, set to make its debut through a dedicated Raid Day soon.
As the list of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Go continues to grow shorter, the addition of Mega Audino is a significant step towards completing the collection. For this purpose, Niantic has decided to incorporate the dual Normal/Fairy-type Pokémon from Generation 5.
The ongoing Might and Mastery season follows the introduction of Mega Gallade from the previous Dual Destiny season, highlighting Mega Audino as the next focal point. Below, we provide essential details regarding this event, including the date, ticket information, bonuses, and more.
Mega Audino Raid Day: Date & Time
The Mega Audino Raid Day will take place on Saturday, April 5, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time. Throughout this three-hour window, players can expect to see Mega Audino appearing in Mega Raids far more frequently, including heightened chances to encounter its Shiny variant.
As a reminder, Mega Evolutions are temporary states. After successfully defeating Mega Audino in raids, players will have an opportunity to catch a regular Audino, and use Mega Energy to initiate its Mega form later on.
