In Pokémon GO you can get an absolute top attacker with Mega-Knackrack. You must participate in the Raid Day for this. We show you all the information.
When is the Raid Day with Mega-Knackrack? The date is Saturday, November 11, 2023, from 14:00 to 17:00 local time.
Here you can expect Mega-Knackrack to appear at numerous gyms. You can challenge and defeat it to secure Mega Energy and then perform the Mega Evolution yourself.
What bonuses does the Raid Day bring? The following bonuses can be expected:
- Mega-Knackrack is appearing in raids for the first time
- You receive up to five additional free raid passes from the gym photo disks when you spin them during the event
- Note: Generally, free passes must be used up in order to receive more
- The remote raid limit will be increased to 10 from 00:00 to 23:59 on that day
- The chance of shiny Knackrack from raids will be increased
- An optional ticket in the shop will cost about 5 euros. For this, you get another 8 raid passes, an increased chance for XL special candies, 50% more raid XP, and double stardust for raid battles
Overall, Mega-Knackrack is the main attraction of the day that you should take advantage of. We show you how strong it is here.
How strong is Mega-Knackrack in Pokémon GO?
This is how strong Mega-Knackrack is: This can be kept relatively brief: As of now, Mega-Knackrack will be one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO overall, capable of dealing an enormous amount of damage.
In its types, Dragon and Ground, it is only surpassed by one monster each: Mega-Rayquaza for the Dragon type and Proto-Groudon for Ground. If you are missing the strong forms here, Mega-Knackrack is the top alternative.
However, note that Knackrack will not learn its special move “Earth Power” from the Community Day on Raid Day as of now. You may need to teach it later with a Charge TM or use Earthquake if you want to use it as a ground attacker.
Additionally, Mega-Knackrack boosts the attacks of its types for other monsters when it is in raids.
It is currently expected that Knackrack can already be defeated by two players if the right counters, such as Ice types, are used. An even greater advantage can be gained through the team feature: If you play as a team, there is an attack bonus in raids.
