Mega Gallade is finally coming to Pokémon GO!
The much awaited Mega Gallade is debuting at last into Pokémon GO, through a Raid Day in 2025. The second of two Mega Evolutions for the Ralts family, Mega Gallade is a Fighting and Psychic-type Pokémon.
There are increasingly few mega Pokémon that are yet to release into Pokémon GO, and Mega Gallade was one of the most requested (and useful) of those yet to debut.
So, here is everything you need to know about the upcoming Mega Gallade Raid Day.
Mega Gallade Pokémon GO Raid Day
The Mega Gallade Raid Day takes part in Pokémon GO on Saturday, January 11, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. This is the first time that you will be able to get Mega Gallade in the game.
Any pre-existing Gallade you have will be able to Mega Evolve as soon as you have the required Mega Energy from completing Raids on this Raid Day.

Event Bonuses
During the Raid Day, the following bonuses will be avaliable in Pokémon GO:
- Remote Raid Pass limit increased to 20 from Friday, January 10, at 4:00 p.m. to Saturday, January 11, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. PST.
- Receive up to five additional free Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Discs (for a total of seven).

The Mega Gallade shiny odds could be as high as 1/10 on this Raid Day.
Mega Gallade Raid Day ticket
There will also be a Paid Ticket to grant Trainers some additional bonuses during the Raid Day event. This ticket will cost $5 (or local equivalent). Trainers who have the Ticket will get the following:
- Eight additional Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Discs (for a daily total of 15)
- Increased chance to get Rare Candy XL from Raid Battles
- 50% more XP from Raid Battles
- 2× Stardust from Raid Battles
These bonuses will be effective on Saturday, January 11, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. local time. That means you will benefit if you choose to do any Remote Raids after your local Raids end.
This ticket does represent good value for money if you plan to do as many Mega Gallade Raids as possible in Pokémon GO. The additional Raid Passes you get are easily worth the price, and extra Rare Candy XL, Stardust and XP is also very nice to have.
