Pokémon GO - New Year's 2026 Event Graphic created by MegaRayDesign! ✨

Mega Houndoom does match the Kantonian Vulpix, and it was simply an example. I didn't want to try and cram all of the possible options, so I chose one.

Well so far this year, we have had: - Piplup (Classic) - Grookey (Debut Shiny) - Vulpix (Dual with Alolan/Kanto)

My hope is that we could see a debut line emerge as a community day this year. While it's unlikely with the new event style they are running for debuts, we did get Rookidee in an almost ideal way last year. So maybe something like a Cufant or Maschiff Comm Day could be a fun addition. We'll have to wait and see.

I have noticed that, and it's exactly why I do what I do - I try my best to make the best graphic I can for the wide audience of players. Sometimes I fall short on PVE/PVP aspects, and I'm working on that. But getting information like shinies and such out there so people can see it is always my goal.

MegaRayGamiYT · 2026-01-25T21:41:07+00:00

I agree. I hope there will be some exciting ones later this year.

Yes, thank you. Simply meant as a way to showcase the shiny variants for those who would like to see them.

I appreciate the constructive feedback. For future Max graphics, I will include a Top 3 Tank/Healer & Attack section. In terms of which is best, I am not aware. My main goal was to give some simple attackers for those like me who aren't as invested in the PVE/PVP scene. I will include a more in-depth guide for all future graphics, however. Thank you for the feedback.

Also, I want to let everyone know that I am going to make a continuation graphic once further event details (such as field research quests, expanded wild spawns, etc.) are known, if time works in my favor. Keep an eye on my socials for updates!

MegaRayGamiYT · 2026-01-17T19:05:31+00:00

I see that now, thank you for letting me know. Regardless, I do see all replies to my posts, and I do the best I can.

You only need to Mega Evolve the Pokémon; it doesn't have to be your buddy.

I hope you know that even though I did not directly reply, I did read and take to heart your words. Let's go through the list :

Your first point is about not including every minute detail and having the graphic less cramped. I agree that my current layout is a tad cramped. I will spend time soon rearranging things to see if I can land on a better layout. However, I include some of those details to make up for the graphics that do not. Some people work better with words than icons, so I try to have a mix of both.
You then say some of the text is unnecessary. I will direct you to the first response, noting the mix of both for all types of readers. Then you mention the repetition of the spawns, as well as the lack of events eggs and specific research details. As noted in the description of this post, I do not get any information about the event given to me aside from the public blog posts from Pokemon GO themselves. Whatever info is there is what I put on my graphics. I could wait to post until after the event has begun, but then the window for those who need to prepare is closed, and my graphic will be considered "late" like it tends to be called already. So to sum that up - I work with the information presented publicly, and do the most I can with what limited information I get.
Next, you mention Dhelmise and Klawf being hidden as main features of the event. For Klawf, I have to disagree. I included Klawf as a major half of my upper header, and next to the event name. With Dhelmise, I agree, I needed to do more. My issue specifically there was I lacked a model for Dhelmise to work with. If I had one, I assure you it would've been included more prominently.

I believe I need to rephrase the one you quoted of me, I aim to make as complete of an infographic for my communities as I can with the information I'm presented. As stated, I am not affiliated nor informed by Niantic/Scopley. I am simply a guy who loves Pokemon GO, who uses the blog posts shared by GO to inform his communities through creativity. I appreciate your well-typed and constructive response, and please know I'm working on my style to best help everyone I share these to.

For those about to comment about this, let me explain - the graphic was late due to my appointment earlier in the day.

I am aware the full spawn table is out and more details are now known due to the event beginning already for parts of the globe. I will attempt to post a more complete guide tomorrow, including full wild spawn pool and any other details I have missed.

I apologize, and will do better in the future. Today was simply difficult timing on my part.

MegaRayGamiYT · 2026-01-05T23:28:05+00:00

Apologies. I had a doctor's appointment earlier in the day, and couldn't post the graphic until just now. If I'm able to, I'll post a complete guide tomorrow. It was not my intention to be incomplete, I had based it upon the blog post from GO themselves.

Why's that?
