The final days of November are currently playing out, which means that Pokemon GO fans are enjoying the very last Season of Light events and activities in the mobile AR game. With a new month (and a new season) right around the corner, players are now able to look ahead at what the early days of the early winter season have in store for them.
It looks like Pokemon GO's Season of Mythical Wishes is going to kick things off with a lot of excitement by jumping right into a big event that includes the debut of three new Mega Evolutions for the game. December 3's Hoenn Mega Raid Day is scheduled for three hours and has some very enticing rewards and bonuses up for grabs. Players who want to get a bit extra out of the event will also have the opportunity to pick up a paid ticketed experience as well for more bonuses.
Three-hour raid day events fly by very quickly, so it's crucial for players to plan accordingly and be aware of what they're getting into before the event kicks off. Obviously trainers will want to review the Battle Raid counters for all of the new Mega Battle Raid bonuses, but they should also take note of the other bonuses and figure out how they can best spend the three-hour window in a way that aligns with their PoGO goals.
