Pokémon Go fans go wild as Shadow Mewtwo comes to raids – and everything else this week

POKÉMON Go introduces a new type of raid that fans are excited to see.

The Rising Heroes season is coming to an end and new Pokémon will be coming soon.

Also, a new cup has been added to the Go Battle League that will challenge players.

Here’s everything that’s happening in Pokémon Go from May 22nd to May 28th.

Shadow raids come into play

The first Shadow Raids appear in Pokémon Go Monday, May 22, 2023.

Shadow Mewtwo will be the first target of this new raid type that will appear in every gym taken over by Team Rocket members.

These five-star raids cannot be completed using remote raid passes, meaning players must meet in person.

Shadow Raids will be more difficult than typical five-star raids, but a new item, Shadow Gems, can help players defeat them.

This also marks the start of the Rising Shadows event, however details about the event are kept secret for now.

This week’s Spotlight Hour takes place on Tuesday, May 23, 2023out of 6 p.m local time.

Skorupi, the pre-evolution of Drapion, is the target of this week’s Spotlight Hour.

As usual, this hour has more spawns and a chance to spot a Shiny.

Any Pokemon that evolves during that hour will also give you double XP, so wait until then to evolve

The Go Battle League will change Wednesday, May 24, 2023 at 21 clock British time.

The Master League with an unlimited CP limit stays in the Battle League for another week.

The Catch Cup is this week’s other cup with a CP limit of 1.5k.

Only Pokémon caught between May 24th and June 1st are eligible. Mythical Pokémon are excluded.

Raid Hour takes place on Wednesday, May 24, 2023 out of 6 p.m local time.

After Tapu Fini’s double bill in five-star raids, a new Pokemon gets time to shine.

Regigigas is one of the most powerful Pokemon in the game and will be available in every Gym as part of five-star Raids.

Mega Altaria will replace Mega Pinsir in Mega Raids this week.
