• Mega Gallade Raid Day Ultra Ticket Box up for sale

The holiday rush is definitely upon us, but while you're busy wrapping presents or meeting up with family and friends, there's certainly still time to go hunting in Pokemon Go. This is especially true given that Mega Gallade is making its debut in Mega Raids this season, which means that on January 11th, you can take part in the latest Raid Day - who knows? You might even encounter a Shiny Gallade if you're lucky.

In the latest update to Pokemon Go, there are plenty of event bonuses to look forward to, including an increased limit for the Remote Raid Pass from January 10th to the 11th. You can even score up to five additional free Raid Passes available from Gym Photo Discs; plus, there's a boosted rate to encounter Shiny Gallade from Mega Raids.

Now, if you happen to have a little bit of extra pocket money, you can purchase an Event Ticket for $5 to receive eight additional Raid Passes from Gym Photo Discs, along with a higher chance of getting Rare Candy XL from Raid Battles. You can also enjoy 50% more XP as well as 2× Stardust from Raid Battles.

The Pokemon Go Web Store will also put a Mega Gallade Raid Day Ultra Ticket Box up for sale for $4.99 or your local equivalent.

In the meantime, if you're eager to join in on all the fun, you can do so by checking out Pokemon Go on the App Store and on Google Play. It's free-to-play with in-app purchases.
