Pokémon GO Month 2025 Raids

Five Star Raids

April 2025 is a great month in Pokémon GO for Raids, mainly because we are getting two new shiny debuts. Blacephalon and Stakataka will be able to be shiny in Pokémon GO for the first time ever starting from April 9. Blacephalon is a pretty good Fire and Ghost-type Pokémon.

In addition, Tapu Lele will be in Pokémon GO with its powerful featured move, Natures Madness. This makes it a great time to do some of these Raids, as it will save you an Elite Charged TM.
