Pokémon Go's 'Forever Forward' season will see the debut of three new Mega Pokémon - Mega Raichu X, Mega Raichu Y, and Mega Skarmory.

Though the trio have yet to be given event dates by Niantic, Mega Skarmory was recently leaked with a 27th June Super Mega Raid event, and with the season ending on 8th September, you can expect the Mega Raichu evolutions to appear before then.

The Mega Evolutions were revealed as part of new promotional art (see the image above) for the season, which also features the tease of an event promoting Gimmighoul and a Gold PokéStops.

Elsewhere, a press release confirmed that Dynamax Electabuzz, Dynamax Magikarp, Dynamax Feebas "and more" will make their debut in Pokémon Go.

The 'Forever Forward' season will run between Tuesday, 2nd June at 10am to Tuesday, 8th September, and will feature a number of Go Fest events, Pokémon Go's 10th anniversary celebrations, the introduction of Mega Mewtwo for all players, and changes to the Daily Discoveries line-up.
