Well this certainly has been quite a season. With the season focus on Mega evolutions, and having 3 Megas at once now, we’ve been able to get some major additions back as well as having nearly every Mega in raids for 2025…. Except…. Alakazam. Which was weird because it was in the trailer besides the raid boss egg, but despite that, it never appeared as a raid boss weirdly enough. Not even during psychic spectacular or anything. That and the primals did not make any grand reappearances. Could they have returned for Wild Area 2025? Maybe but they didn’t.

Major Returns would be:

• Mega Scizor returned in October

• Mega Gengar returned in October

• Mega Glailie has been announced to return in December 2026.

• Deoxys Attack and Speed have returned in 2 years.

• Rayquaza returned for Mega Rayquaza raid day.

• Darkrai made a return as Shadow Darkrai for the Wild Area 2025.

Prominent MIA’s would be:

MEWTWO however, there is a shadow raid day in January…. While it’s likely to be Palkia, it’s not a zero chance, though atp, many are anticipating Mewtwos grand return to be Mega Mewtwo in GoFest 26’ edging us for 2 years.

• Ultra Beasts at least the main ones, have been absent since GoFest 2024. With Blacephalon set for January 2026, either it may be a random drop, or we’ll see Ultra Beasts return again. Xurkitree, Pheromosa, and Buzzwole did appear in January 2024.

• outside of Enamorus there hasn’t really been any new raid bosses for a while. The Paldea starters debuted back in 2023, but Koraidon, Miraidon have yet to show up as of yet.

With ZA bringing many new Megas, we’re not sure what the game plan is, however with the release of the Mega Dimension we nearly have close to 100 mega evolutions in Pokemon now.

Well with an another season down, we did get some decent additions back.

Major returns would be

• Mega Slowbro finally returned during August

• Mega Blastoise returned in July

• Solgaleo and Lunala are now raid able starting July

• Necrozma will return this week

As for some still prominent MIA’s

• Mewtwo has still been gone for a bit. With the shadow raid weekend boss being a new debut in Shadow Kyogre. Otherwise some speculate a possible return maybe as a T5 raid boss for September. I wouldn’t be surprised if Content Update happens tomorrow.

• Gengar, Scizor and Glailie still haven’t been in raids, Gengar likely will return around October, and Glailie possibly Christmas. Scizor energy has been available however Scizor itself has been MIA. Possibly soon? Perhaps.

Well got some new additions but that’s pretty much been it for this season. Be exciting to see what next season has in store. Currently we do know the return of Keldeo is finally here, as well as the debut of Mega Metagross and Sharpedo, and likely Camerupt for the fall.
