Trainers,
Those of you tuned into the mystical arts probably saw this coming, but the Psychic Spectacular event is returning to Pokémon GO this year!
This year’s event is as large as an Alakazam’s brain–fitting because our crystal ball is telling us that Mega Alakazam will make its Pokémon GO debut in Mega Raids! The Mythical Psychic-type Pokémon Deoxys will also be appearing in raids during a special Deoxys Raid Day,
