Spring is officially here in the northern hemisphere, however, that does not mean there is no chance of snow. While the Northern part of Earth looks forward to warmer weather, the South prepares for Winter. During Spring and Summer, people can watch as lightning dances across the sky and thunder lets out loud roars. In celebration of Spring, Niantic is giving players the chance to catch the legendary Forces of Nature trio in the base and Therian Forme. Additionally, trainers will be able to take on Mega Manectric, Mega Houndoom, and Mega Abomasnow raids. Here is a guide to take on the Mega Abomasnow raid.
