That means new Mega Raids too, some of the most challenging raids in Pokemon GO, though they do reward you with Mega Energy, you’d be remiss in thinking they’re easy. Most Mega Raids need a minimum of 6 players, and even then it’s not impossible to lose, in fact it’s very probably unless you tailor your team.
