Another unreleased Mega enters Pokémon GO, and this time, it’s the Eruption Pokémon!

September 2025 remains a Mega-oriented month for Pokémon GO, as after Mega Sharpedo, Mega Camerupt finally takes its turn as the featured Raid Day Pokémon for the first time.

Calling volcano craters its home, Camerupt can also build up magma in its body, and the volcanoes on its back can erupt every 10 years or whenever it becomes angry. When Camerupt mega evolves, its volcanoes turn into a single taller volcano with lava coming out of it.
