Marc Deschamps has been writing about video games and popular culture for more than a decade, at various outlets. Prior to joining GameRant, Marc served as a freelancer, staff writer, and editor at sites like IGN, Nintendojo, and ComicBook. While Marc has a passion for Nintendo franchises like Mario, Pokemon, Metroid, and Zelda, he also loves Sonic, Resident Evil, and Yakuza. Gaming is one of Marc’s oldest loves, but he also has a lot of knowledge and background covering comics and movies. 

Pokemon GO‘s Mega Mewtwo Raids will feature a new mechanic that forces the user to raise their device in the air alongside other players to charge up a new Unity attack. Mega Evolution was added to Pokemon GO several years ago, and Niantic has slowly been adding all the various Mega Evolutions from the mainline games. For three decades now, Mewtwo has been one of the most popular Pokemon, and fans have been eagerly waiting to see its Mega Evolutions added to Pokemon GO.

Pokemon GO Fest 2026 has begun in Tokyo, and players now have a chance to participate in Super Mega Raids to get Mega Mewtwo X and Y. Ahead of time, Niantic revealed changes to Mega Evolution in Pokemon GO, but there’s one new mechanic that players are just finding out about. Unity Attacks are a new mechanic where players team up to perform a powerful attack together when the opposing Pokemon is at low health. To charge up the Unity Attack, the phone or device is raised into the air alongside other players. Naturally, some fans have found that doing so is a little embarrassing.
