For fans of Pokémon Go, Raid Days are always a promise of excitement and new opportunities. The upcoming event on Saturday, May 3rd from 3pm to 5pm local time is no exception, with the return of Mega Kangaskhan in the latest raid.

Additionally, you can earn five extra Raid Passes by spinning Gym Discs, and there's an increased chance of encountering a Shiny Kangaskhan during Mega Raids. Whether you're looking to complete your Pokédex or strengthen your Pokémon team, this Raid Day is a golden opportunity.
