Using a raid schedule helps you work out which creatures to save your raid passes (remote or otherwise) for in Pokmon Go.The raid targets swap out every 10 days approximately, so youll definitely want to keep track on who is coming next.If youre unfamiliar with raids, they spawn in gyms from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. local time. After the timer ticks down, a raid target will appear. You can check the difficulty of a raid while its still a egg; five-star raids have five little monster icons, Mega raids have the Mega DNA-like swirl, and shadow raids are at gyms taken over by Team Go Rocket.Below, we list all the high-value raid targets (Legendary Pokmon and Ultra Beasts, Mega Pokmon, and shadow Legendary Pokmon) in Pokmon Go for this month.Pokmon Go Legendary raid schedule for April 2025The raid schedule for five-star Pokmon (such as Legendaries or Ultra Beasts) is as follows:March 31 until April 9: Tapu Lele*April 9-21: Blacephalon* (Western Hemisphere) or Stakataka* (Eastern Hemisphere)April 21 until May 1: Cresselia**Shiny version available. Remember, any Pok Ball you hit a shiny Legendary with is a guaranteed catch, so make sure to use a Pinap Berry to get some extra candy.Pokmon Go Mega raid schedule for April 2025The raid schedule for Mega Pokmon is as follows:March 31 until April 9: Mega Blaziken*April 9-21: Mega Sceptile*April 21 until May 1: Mega Mawile*Mega Audio will also make its debut on April 5 as part of a Mega Audio Raid Day event.*Shiny version availableAs a reminder, you wont catch the Mega version following the raid battle, but the standard version of that Pokmon and an amount of Mega Energy to then Mega Evolve it, all based on how fast you take down the raid.Pokmon Go Legendary Shadow raid schedule for March 2025The focus of Shadow raids this month will be Shadow Registeel.Note Shadow raids will only appear during the weekends, and this Pokmon has a shiny version available.As usual, you should make sure to team up for shadow raids, as they are quite a bit harder to complete we highly recommend coming with as many Purified Gems as possible.After completing the raid, the Pokmon will also be harder to catch, as theyll move around much more often. Keep cool and be patient as you chuck out your balls to catch the Shadow Legendary.If youre wondering about other activities this month, sees the Spotlight Hour schedule.
