Pokémon GO's Clefable Super Mega Raid Day takes place on November 28 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. There is a free route with Gym Raid Passes and Timed Research, alongside an optional paid ticket. Before buying anything, work out whether you have a nearby group and enough time to use the passes.
This is also a progression event for Mega Clefable. Its Super Max level and Moonblast+ attack add reasons to return beyond catching one Pokémon, but the preparation begins with finding a suitable raid and understanding its entry requirements.
Arrange the afternoon before buying a ticket
The official Clefable announcement gives a three-hour local raid window. Check the map for participating Gyms and community meetups rather than assuming the nearest Gym will host the event. Plan the meeting point and travel time with the people you intend to play with.
The official announcement post gives the date and debut:
A pass allowance is not a promise that you can complete that many raids. Travel, lobby coordination and battles all use part of the afternoon. If your group is only available for a short session, the free route may already cover what you can reasonably attempt.
Start with the free passes and research
The event offers up to six free Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Discs. Timed Research adds a Premium Battle Pass and a Metagross encounter. Finish the research and claim its rewards before it ends; completing a task without collecting the reward leaves an avoidable risk when the research expires.
Check which resource a raid will spend before entering. The free Gym passes are useful for an afternoon out with a local group; joining friends remotely needs a different set of resources. Look at those costs before accepting invitations.
For remote Super Mega Raids, the official Mega Evolution guide requires both a Remote Raid Pass and Link Charges. Do not count the event's Gym passes as a replacement for those remote requirements. Check your resources before agreeing to a remote invitation so the group does not wait on an entry problem.
Decide whether the paid bonuses fit your plans
The optional ticket costs US$4.99 or its local equivalent. It lists up to 14 Raid Passes from Gym Photo Discs, increased Rare Candy XL chances, and extra XP and Stardust from Super Mega Raids. The event window remains the same local afternoon, so more passes do not create more time.
The Web Store's Ultra Ticket Box adds a bonus Premium Battle Pass at the same advertised US price. Compare the final regional checkout and included contents before choosing where to buy. Tickets cannot be bought with PokéCoins, and gifting requires the friendship level stated in the announcement.
The ticket lists up to 14 passes. Do not add six and 14 together when budgeting for the day. If you only expect to play a few raids, the free route may be enough without paying for the larger allowance.
Prepare for shields and Mega progression
Super Mega Raids are group battles with shields. The official mechanics guide explains that each Trainer can break one shield using a Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Its earlier introduction remains useful background for players returning to this raid type:
Check the party you intend to bring before the meeting time. The mechanic gives a practical reason to coordinate Mega-Evolved attackers with other players. This is not a solo difficulty estimate or a recommended counter team; the official event page does not provide either.
Clefable caught from these raids starts with Mega Level 1 unlocked. Reaching Super Max still involves further progression. Moonblast+ is an additional attack while Mega-Evolved, and its power scales with Mega Level. A Global Challenge also controls temporary bonuses after the raid day, so do not treat the highest possible boost as already earned.
The challenge and remote limit use Pacific time, unlike the local raid afternoon: November 27 at 5:00 p.m. PST is November 28 at 01:00 UTC; November 28 at 8:00 p.m. PST is November 29 at 04:00 UTC. Keep that wider window separate when arranging invitations. Our Into the Wild guide covers the earlier November event, not this raid day's rewards.
