Niantic has announced it will extend Mega Gyarados Raid Day in Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/a> in the wake of incorrect information around when the event would take place.<\/p>\n

Trainers, we’re aware Mega Gyarados Raid Day started at 11:00 a.m. local time rather than the announced 2:00 p.m. in earlier regions. As such, we have decided to extend Raid Day in all regions from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for a total of 6 hours instead of the previous 3 hours.<\/p>\n

Mega Gyarados Raid Day was previously set to start at 2 p.m. local time, but some regions unexpectedly had the event start at 11a.m. instead. To make amends and compensate for the confusion, Niantic is now having Mega Gyarados Raid Day<\/a> start at 11a.m. local time and having it run until 5p.m. local time in all regions.<\/p>\n

This Raid Day is a part of Pok\u00e9mon GO\u2019s Evolving Stars event<\/a>. For six hours, trainers have the opportunity to go up against and catch this Generation One Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> in its mega form, with a chance to encounter it in its shiny form. The Evolving Stars event is a celebration of various Pok\u00e9mon evolutions. With the event, for the first time ever, Cosmog, Nebula Pok\u00e9mon, can be evolved into Cosmoem.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gyarados can prove to be a challenge even for a team of three to four people. Its water and flying dual typing gives it strong move set with Waterfall and Hydro Pump. Though its typing makes it an overall strong Pok\u00e9mon, it has a lot of weaknesses. Gyarados is vulnerable to Electric, Grass, Fighting, Bug and Fairy-type moves, so stacking your team with Pok\u00e9mon that have these typed moves can provide a huge advantage in battle. <\/p>\n
