This year, our Día de Muertos celebration returns as part of Pokémon GO: Maxed Out season in Latin America! But beware: we’ve received reports that Team GO Rocket has been keeping a close eye on this celebration for the past few years and is planning to take over the festivities. Professor Willow may need your help to keep them in check!

Day of the Dead is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and other parts of the Americas that honors the lives and memories of friends and family who have passed away. In ancient Aztec tradition, it was said that the spirits of our loved ones never truly left, but simply traveled to a different world and, during a special time each year, returned to our world. Since then, people who celebrate Day of the Dead have prepared for this occasion by setting tables with their ancestors’ favorite dishes, covering the streets with marigold petals, and lighting candles and incense to enjoy a joyful celebration full of colors, music, flowers, and flavors.

How to Get Mega Aggron

You cannot catch Aggron in its mega evolved form from the raid. The mega raid boss is always catchable in its base form, and as such, the CP ranges are for a regular Aggron. Aggron can be caught with the following CP values:

  • 1636 – 1714 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
  • 2045 – 2143 CP at Level 25, boosted by Snow weather boost

In order to get Mega Aggron, you will need 200 Mega Energy for the initial evolution, then 40 Mega Energy to evolve the same Aggron again in the future. If you wait for their ‘cooldown’ period to end, Mega Evolution is free. This cooldown period is shorter the higher the Mega level your Mega Pokémon is.

Mega Energy can be obtained via Mega Aggron Raids, and once you have evolved Mega Aggron, you can earn 5 Mega Energy per candy while walking it as your buddy. You can walk any Aron, Lairon, or Aggron to earn Mega Energy, as long as you have previously evolved one to register it to your Mega Pokédex.
