Mega Skarmory makes its Pokémon GO debut in Super Mega Raids during this three-hour Raid Day on 27 June. Super Mega Raids appear only at certain Gyms and need a strong group, so the web map at pokemongo.com/map is worth checking for likely locations and nearby community meetups. Timed Research also offers a Houndoom encounter, and an optional ticket adds more Raid Passes and rewards.
