What is special? April brings many raid bosses that we already know in Pokémon GO. One of the highlights is Katagami, which is among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. However, Crypto-Entei, which you can encounter on weekends, should not be overlooked in terms of attackers.
Moreover, there will be a debut: Mega-Skaraborn crosses into Pokémon GO for the first time, giving you a good opportunity to catch the usually regional Pokémon Skaraborn. Additionally, you will receive one of the best Bug attackers in the game with it.
You also get a special shiny chance when you try to catch Mega-Skaraborn on its own raid day on April 13. All info about the raid day with Mega-Skaraborn can be found here.
