Raids have been a massive part of Pokemon GO since the game was released in July 2016. The mechanic gave players a great way to catch some of the rarest Pokemon in the franchise while working with some of their friends to take on a challenging boss. This mechanic even carried over to the main series.

With well over 800 Pokemon for players to collect, there will be a special select few that can only be found in these Raid Battles. Legendary Pokemon and Mythical Pokemon are some of the most desirable Pokemon players can find in the game and are constantly cycling through the 5-Star Raid spot.

With the cycle of Raid Bosses changing so often, players need to be aware of the Raid schedule. Knowing the schedule for future Raid Battles can help players make plans for when to go out and challenge a boss. Knowing the Raid schedule is also great for keeping friends updated on the game.
