It’s time for another slew of Five-Star, Mega, and more types of Raids in Pokémon Go, with a healthy offering of new and returning Pokémon on the horizon.
If you have been an active Pokémon Go player for several years now, you know there are several different types of Raids on offer from the usual Five-Star raid battles that have Legendary Pokémon on offer, as well as Shadow Raids, Mega Raids, and whatever else Niantic plans to come up with in the future.
With there being so much on offer, we have completed a list of everything coming out this month to help speedrun you to the information you want to know about.

Raid Hours are different from usual Raids. From 6pm to 7pm local time, every Gym in the area has the showcased Pokémon on offer, giving you a ton of different raids to try and get a Pokémon you are after or secure its Shiny form before it disappears.
On top of the above raids, a Mega Raid Day is usually scheduled monthly to reveal a new Mega Pokémon, but there is no guarantee one will always show up as Niantic slowly runs out of new Megas to reveal.
The only remaining Mega Pokémon that the Mega Day could be for are either Mega Audino, Mega Camerupt, Mega Gallade, Mega Metagross, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Sharpedo. Of course, there is a chance of additional Mega Pokémon with the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A on the horizon, which is expected to add a bunch of new Megas to collect, much to Niantic’s delight.
There is still a lot to look forward to, so be prepared for a month of goodies.
