It’s been over four years since the launch of Pokemon GO<\/em><\/strong>, Niantic’s genre-defining Pokemon<\/em> spin-off. In that time, the game has grown incredibly,\u00a0adding new features, items, and Pokemon. One of these later additions\u00a0is the Mega Raid system, which allows\u00a0Pokemon GO<\/a><\/em> players a chance to catch a Mega-Evolved Pokemon.<\/p>\n

The Pokemon that appear in Mega Raids swap in and out regularly, following a rotation system.\u00a0Occasionally, however,\u00a0a brand new Mega-Evolution is added into the mix, something which will happen again this January. Niantic has announced that\u00a0the new Pokemon will be entering the rotation with Mega Venusaur and Mega Houndoom<\/a>, and speculation is at a fever pitch in the community.<\/p>\n

Of the large number of Mega-Evolution Pokemon that haven’t yet been added to Pokemon GO<\/em>, there are a few that are most likely to arrive in January. Back in October, dataminers from the Silph Road Pokemon GO<\/em> community<\/a> discovered a couple new Mega-Evolution Pokemon in the game files. The 3D models were added by Niantic in a game update, but haven’t been made available to catch.<\/p>\n

One of these is Mega Slowbro, which is part of the Slowpoke evolution line<\/a>. A Generation 1\u00a0Pokemon, Slowpoke and its evolutions are popular with fans, even if they’re not the most competitive. In the main Pokemon<\/em> games, Slowpoke can evolve into either Slowbro or Slowking, the former of which can then Mega Evolve with Slowbronite. Mega Slowbro’s appearance in the game-files makes it likely that the Hermit Crab Pokemon will be arriving in Pokemon GO<\/em> at some point. However, there’s no way to say for certain that it will be the Mega-Evolution Pokemon that has been promised in the January 2021 update.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Another Mega-Evolved Pokemon that was revealed by the Silph Road dataminers was Mega Aerodactyl. Aerodactyl is another of the original 151 Pokemon, and has been a popular and competitive pick in many Pokemon<\/em> titles. In Pokemon GO<\/em>, the Fossil Pokemon hatches from a 7km egg and has a base Stamina, Attack, and Defense of 190, 221, and 159. respectively. The discovery of a Mega Aerodactyl 3D model waiting in Pokemon GO<\/em>‘s files caused a lot of interest in the community back in October, so as a popular and powerful Generation 1 Pokemon<\/a>, many fans are interested in getting their hands on its Mega-Evolved form.<\/p>\n

While Aerodactyl has no evolutions, its Mega-Evolved form sports a spiky, rock-like design,\u00a0better showing-off its dual-type of Rock\/Flying. Its Bite\/Ancient power moveset\u00a0may not be very effective in Pokemon GO<\/em>, but its combination of Rock Throw\/Rock Slide is considered one of the best Rock movesets in the game. Overall, Aerodactyl seems like a strong contender for the new Mega Raid in January 2021.<\/p>\n

The two datamined Mega-Evolutions aren’t the only contenders\u00a0for the new addition to the Mega Raid rotation. January in Pokemon GO<\/em> has traditionally been the month for the Hoenn Celebration event<\/a>. This event focuses on the Pokemon and traditions of the Hoenn region, which first appeared in Pokemon Ruby<\/em> and Pokemon<\/em>\u00a0Sapphire<\/em>. There are quite a few Hoenn Pokemon with Mega Evolutions that haven’t arrived in Pokemon GO<\/em> yet, any one of which could be the new addition.<\/p>\n

One of the most likely contenders from Hoenn is Mega Rayquaza, also known as the Sky High Pokemon, which is one of the most powerful and popular. It appeared on the box art of Pokemon Emerald<\/em>, and has entered the Raid rotation for Pokemon GO<\/em> a few times. On the other hand, as a hard-to-find Legendary<\/a> Pokemon, Rayquaza<\/a> may be lower on the list for a Mega-Evolution version.<\/p>\n

Another strong possibility from Hoenn is Mega Blaziken, the Mega-Evolved final form of Pokemon Ruby\/Emerald<\/em>‘s Fire-type Starter Pokemon. These Pokemon are nearly always regarded fondly by Pokemon<\/em> fans, and Blaziken is also a powerful pick in Pokemon GO<\/em>. This combo makes it quite likely to be the next Mega Raid Pokemon.<\/p>\n

While there are many Pokemon that could be gaining a Mega-Evolved form in Pokemon GO<\/em> this January<\/a>, there are only a few likely contenders. Whichever one Niantic chooses to include, it will most likely remain in the Mega Raid Rotation for a few more updates until it’s swapped out.<\/p>\n

Pokemon GO\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is available on Android and iOS.<\/p>\n
