Dust Off Your Megas: +4 Moves and DPS Discussion

Datamined. Scopely hasn't announced this, and it isn't on the calendar.

Mega Pokemon have always been in a weird spot. Due to the way they interact with candy, it is generally more beneficial to use Megas that have the same type as the Pokemon you're fighting instead of using your mega to contribute damage. With Niantic introducing the Super Mega +4 moves for certain Pokemon, this could (and has in some cases) changed, as these moves now allow for some Pokemon to boost their types while also contributing damage.

The current pattern of Super Mega Moves seemingly has two restrictions: *The move must be either of the Pokemon's type. *The move cannot be a legacy move.

Pokémon GO City Safaris in Europe: Venues and Activities

Where to Stay

  • Munich's S-Bahn network covers a very large area, so hotels farther out can still offer easy access to the city while often being more affordable.
  • If you want to stay away from the busy crowds, avoid relying on the U4/U5 westbound from Munich Central Station (Hauptbahnhof).
