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 view both upcoming and ongoing Super Mega Raids. You can also filter the map to only show certain types of events and view events days in advance, allowing you to plan more seamlessly.
