Kyurem will be sticking around throughout the first week of the new year before Heatran takes over the five star slot. Later in the month Genesect and Regice will make some appearances, as well. Genesect (Shock Drive) caught during this period will know the attack Techno Blast, which could make for some exciting new options in the PvE and PvP battle scenes once players do some experimenting. Things are looking pretty standard on the Mega Raid side though, withthe return of Mega Abomasnow and Mega Aerodactyl. There are a lot of great opportunities here, so raiders will want to mark their calendars and plan their Raid Pass use wisely throughout January.
