Best tips and tricks for Mega Kangaskhan Raid Day in Pokemon GO

Do the following things to make the most out of the event:

Play with friends

While it is possible to solo defeat Mega Kangaskhan, it is recommended that you play with friends. This way, you can maximize the amount of Mega Energy you get from each raid by reducing the time taken to beat the raid boss.

Use a Star Piece and Lucky Egg

This applies specifically to trainers who purchase the ticket for the event. Doing so will give you enormous amounts of Stardust and XP for each raid you complete.
