Event focus
Mega Chandelure arrives in Super Mega Raids. The raid afternoon follows local time; the challenge and later boosts follow fixed Pacific times. Plan those windows separately.
Schedule
| Activity | Window | Clock |
|---|---|---|
| Raid day and ticket bonuses | 31 October 2026, 14:00–17:00 | Local |
| In-game ticket sale closes | 31 October, 17:00 | Local |
| Global Challenge and remote limit of 20 | 30 October, 17:00–31 October, 20:00 PDT | 31 October, 00:00–1 November, 03:00 UTC |
| Challenge-dependent boosts | 2 November, 12:00–15 November, 12:00 PST | 2 November, 20:00–15 November, 20:00 UTC |
The worldwide windows do not extend local raid-day gameplay. The UTC conversions use PDT (UTC−7) and PST (UTC−8) as printed in the announcement, including the November clock change.
Raid encounters
- Mega Chandelure appears as the Super Mega Raid boss.
- The caught Chandelure starts with Mega Level 1 unlocked.
- Shiny Chandelure is possible, with an increased encounter chance during these raids.
No numerical Shiny odds or guaranteed catch is announced. Locate eligible Gyms on the official map, then arrange a group before the local afternoon begins. The announcement gives no minimum team size or verified counter list.
Bonuses
- Up to six free Gym Raid Passes.
- Remote Raid limit raised to 20 during the separate worldwide window.
- Increased Shiny Chandelure chance in Super Mega Raids.
Optional ticket
| Option | Price and benefits |
|---|---|
| In-game ticket | USD4.99; up to 14 Gym Raid Passes, increased Rare Candy XL chance, and an extra 5,000 XP plus 5,000 Stardust per Super Mega Raid Battle |
| Web Store Ultra Ticket Box | USD4.99; event ticket plus one Premium Battle Pass |
The 14-pass allowance is the ticket listing, not an additional 14 on top of the free six. Ticket benefits apply during 14:00–17:00 local; regional pricing varies. Tickets can be gifted at Great Friends or higher and cannot be bought with PokéCoins.
Mega progression and featured attack
Reach Max Mega Level first, then spend Chandelure Mega Energy to unlock Super Max. Repeated Mega Evolution alone is insufficient.
| Attack while Mega Evolved | Trainer Battles | Gyms and raids |
|---|---|---|
| Ominous Wind+ | 50 power; possible one-stage Attack/Defense increase | 145 power |
Power scales with Mega Level. The stat increase is a chance, not a guaranteed effect.
Global Challenge rewards
Completed worldwide raid tiers determine two later boosts: Ominous Wind+ base power at Mega Level 1+, and CP at Super Max. The attack boost excludes GO Battle League. Exact tier thresholds and boost amounts remain unannounced.
Check the challenge result before planning November battles around a specific increase. Owning the raid-day ticket does not establish that a particular global tier has been completed.
Timed Research
| Confirmed rewards | Details still unknown |
|---|---|
| Premium Battle Pass and Tyranitar encounter | Individual tasks, extra reward amounts and precise expiry time |
Complete tasks and claim rewards before the expiry shown in-game. Predicted task sequences from earlier raid days are not confirmed for this event, so this guide does not present them as current requirements.
Preparation
- Find a suitable Gym or meetup before raid day; allow time to assemble a group.
- Compare the two ticket purchase options before buying. The Web Store listing includes a bonus pass, while Gym pass allowances still depend on the ticket benefits.
- Set separate reminders for local gameplay and worldwide challenge times. The November boost starts after raid day.
- Check the Research tab for its own deadline and claim rewards while available.
