Where can I find Super Mega Raids?

Super Mega Raids will take great teamwork and may only appear at certain Gyms.

You can visit pokemongo.com/map to see the locations where Super Mega Raids might appear during an event, in addition to those in progress. You can also filter the map to show nearby community meetups days in advance, allowing you to plan more seamlessly.

If you’ve never attended a meetup before, Super Mega Raids are a great reason to go out and meet your local community of Trainers for the first time!
