Pokémon GO's Shadow Raid Day: A Fiery Ho-Oh Returns!
Get ready for a fiery showdown! Pokémon GO announces a Shadow Raid Day featuring the legendary Ho-Oh on January 19th, 2025. This marks the first Shadow Raid Day of the year, offering trainers another chance to catch this powerful Fire-type Pokémon.
The event runs from 2 pm to 5 pm local time. During this window, Shadow Ho-Oh will appear in five-star raids, with increased shiny rates. Spin Gyms to earn up to seven free Raid Passes (five base, plus a two-pass bonus).
