Pokémon GO announces Mossno stats and upcoming Mega Raichu Super Mega Raid in Japan

Pokémon GO released detailed information for the Galar‑region Pokémon Mossno (Frosmoth), including a maximum CP of 3084, recommended fast and charged moves such as こなゆき (Snow Claw) and こごえるかぜ (Frost Wind), and its type weaknesses. The game will run a limited‑time event from August 4 10:00 JST to August 10 20:00 JST featuring the first appearance of a shiny Mossno, a Marathon Buzzer Pikachu reward, and a new GO Pass.

A Super Mega Raid Day is scheduled for July 18, 2026 (14:00‑17:00 JST) in Pokémon GO, introducing Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y simultaneously. The raid adds a shield that can only be broken by Mega‑evolution attacks, making the inclusion of at least one Mega‑evolution Pokémon essential. Players are advised to prepare ground‑type Pokémon such as Groudon, Landorus, Garchomp, or their Mega forms, with Mega Garchomp highlighted as a versatile choice.
