Mega Camerupt raids in Pokémon GO—May event

Mega Camerupt is the next Mega Raid boss in Pokémon GO, and the timing is simple — it starts Wednesday, May 6 at 6:00 a.m. local time and runs until Wednesday, May 13 at 6:00 a.m. local time. That makes this a straight one-week raid window, with Mega Banette rotating out first. If you want Mega Camerupt Energy, this is the week to do it. (leekduck.com) ### What’s actually changing? The raid boss rotation flips on the morning of May 6. Mega Camerupt moves into Mega Raids, while Nihilego arrives in five-star raids and Shadow Cresselia continues in Shadow Raids. So this is part of the broader weekly reset, not a one-day special event. (leekduck.com) ### Why (leekduck.com)s — the boss encounter and the Mega Energy. Beating Mega Camerupt gives you the resource you need to Mega Evolve your own Camerupt later, and that is the whole reason these windows matter.

Not especially, if you build for the matchup. Mega Camerupt is Fire/Ground, and that typing is brutal against Water attacks — it takes 256% damage from Water and 160% from Ground.

The raid guides built for this boss all point the same way — powerful Water and Ground attackers work, but Water is the priority because of the double weakness. If you already have strong Kyogre, Primal Kyogre, Swampert, Greninja, or other top Water options, this is exactly (pokemon.gameinfo.io) few trainers, while weaker accounts may want a larger lobby.

That means the raid boss can hit harder and the catch can come at a higher level, which is good and bad at the same time. Good if you want a stronger post-raid encounter. Bad if your group is already cutting it close. (db.pokemongohub.net) event day, but not by much. The window opens the morning of May 6 and ends the morning of May 13 in local time, so the practical play is to raid sometime between Wednesday and the following Tuesday night. After that, Mega Glalie is next in line. (leekduck.com)ng? Kind of. Fan calendars often summarize raid weeks by listing the calendar dates only, but the more precise timing here is May 6 at 6:00 a.m. through May 13 at 6:00 a.m. local time. That’s the cleaner way to think about it if you’re planning raid hours or coordinating with friends. (leekduck.com)e? If you want Mega Camerupt Energy, this is a nice low-drama raid week. The boss is temporary, the counter plan is obvious, and Water teams should make the fight very manageable. Just don’t treat it like it runs through all of May — it’s one week, then it’s gone.
