Niantic has officially confirmed the debut of Mega Audino in Pokemon Go, and it’s arriving with its very own Mega Raid Day event. As one of the last few Mega Evolutions left to be introduced in the game, Mega Audino’s arrival during the Might and Mastery season is a major highlight for both collectors and battlers.
Here’s a full breakdown of the Pokemon GO Mega Audino Raid Day, including its schedule, event bonuses, paid tickets, and more.
Pokemon GO Mega Audino Raid Day: Date and time
Mega Audino will make its first appearance in Pokémon Go on Saturday, April 5, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time.
During this three-hour event window:
– Mega Audino will appear more frequently in Mega Raids
– Players will have an increased chance of encountering a Shiny Audino
– Mega Energy can be earned by defeating Mega Audino in raids, allowing trainers to Mega Evolve their own Audino later
Pokemon GO Mega Audino Raid Day exclusive attack
Audino learns Body Slam with the arrival of this event in the game. So, make sure to catch this critter by defeating it in the Mega Raids.
To coincide with its Mega debut, Audino will receive an exclusive move update. Starting with this event and continuing beyond, Audino will now be able to learn the Charged Move Body Slam.
Body Slam stats:
| Battle Type | Power |
|---|---|
| Trainer Battles | 50 |
| Gyms and Raids | 50 |
This move adds more utility to Audino in PvE and PvP formats, making it a more competitive choice across modes.
