For the Pokémon GO Fest 2026, you can obtain Zeraora for the first time. MeinMMO has taken a look for you: how strong is this monster?
What kind of monster is this? Zeraora is a mysterious Pokémon from the 7th generation. It is an Electric type and has a Mega Evolution, which will not be available in Pokémon GO during the GO Fest.
How do I obtain the monster? At the global GO Fest, all trainers will receive a free Special Research, where you can obtain the mysterious monster. You can only receive exactly one specimen, nothing more.
Unique and really strong
How strong is the monster? Current predictions suggest that Zeraora will become a really strong Electric monster in raids and will rise directly to one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO. For that, you should teach the monster the moves Volt Switch and Plasma Fists.
In the list of Electric attackers on pokemongohub.net, the monster can be found in 2nd place, only surpassed by Mega-Mewtwo Y with the attack combination Psycho Cut/Thunderbolt.
Also on the Electric list from Dialgadex.com, Zeraora can be found in 2nd place. Here too, it is only surpassed by Mega-Mewtwo Y and leaves attackers like Shadow Raikou and Regieleki behind.
How strong is it in the Battle League? In the Battle League, however, Zeraora does not seem to be particularly suitable. Here, it does not take a particularly high place in the current rankings on pvpoke.com in either the Great, Ultra, or Master League.
You should therefore better avoid this mysterious monster and rely on other monsters.
How do I strengthen Zeraora? Since you can only receive one specimen, you cannot acquire candies by catching additional specimens. You will have to take Zeraora as your buddy Pokémon. However, this only rewards you with additional candies every 20 kilometers walked.
Additionally, you have the option to convert your rare candies into Zeraora candies to further level up the monster.
