Mega Camerupt Arrives in Pokémon GO: Hype or Letdown? Community Weighs In

Pokémon GO is going to introduce a brand new Pokémon as the final boss during September's Mega Raid day. Pokémon GO is in the midst of its month-long 'Tales of Transformation' event, and mega raid day is set to greet the trainers towards the end of this month. The announcement has become the new topic of discussion in the Pokémon GO community, and the trainers are not wasting any time letting their feelings be known about the new final boss.

Mega Raid day happens to be one of the most popular events in Pokémon GO. This event lets you challenge an overpowered Mega Evolved Pokémon in a raid battle. If you can defeat the Raid Boss, you receive mega energy, which you can use to mega-evolve your one Pokémon. Trainers also get to acquire the non-mega form of the Pokémon from this battle.
