Pokémon GO Fest 2026 Mega Raid performance and event outcomes

The Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Mega Finale event concluded with a significant focus on Mega Raids, though it did not meet all player expectations regarding specific debuts.

Data analysis of the event's raid rotation identifies Mega Mewtwo Y as the premier Psychic-type attacker, noted for its high damage-per-second (DPS) and versatile movepool. Mega Raichu Y also emerged as a top-tier Electric-type attacker, outperforming its X variant in pure offensive output. Other notable performers in the A-Tier included Mega Aerodactyl and Mega Dragonite.

Despite the high-performance raids, many players expressed disappointment that the Kalos starter trio—Mega Chesnaught, Mega Delphox, and Mega Greninja—did not appear in surprise raids. While the event allowed players to select one of these three species, the lack of a broader rollout led to community speculation regarding when these powerful raid attackers might be fully implemented in future updates.
