Encounter the Hearing Pokémon in Mega Raids, look for Shiny Audino, and enjoy bonuses.
Now hear this! Mega Audino is making its Pokémon GO debut in Mega Raids on Saturday, April 5, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time.

The Hearing Pokémon is about to become more versatile with the addition of a new attack. Starting with this event and continuing afterward, Audino will be able to learn the Charged Attack Moonblast. This Fairy-type attack is perfect for the Normal- and Fairy-type Mega Audino, which the Normal-type Audino Mega Evolves into.
