Raid Hour is an hour-long global event that takes place every Wednesday from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time. During this event, one particular Pokémon or a group of Pokémon appears more frequently in Raids, including new, rare, Legendary, or Mythical Pokémon as Raid Bosses, sometimes with exclusive moves. The featured Pokémon will be the only Pokémon in Raids during this window of time, taking place more frequently than they normally do. Raid Hours usually feature difficult Bosses, so it’s best to take them on with a group of friends. Players can locate raid battles by looking for gyms with raid eggs or raid bosses on the map. Raid Hours provide increased opportunities to earn regular raid rewards such as Rare Candies, Golden Razz Berries, TMs, and a chance to catch the raid boss Pokémon. To learn about upcoming Raid Hours, players can keep an eye on the in-game news and follow the official social media channels.
