Pokemon GO Raid Schedule for Mythical, Legendary, and Mega Raids in November 2024

Pokémon GO invites trainers to engage with an array of Mythical, Legendary, and Mega Pokémon, each serving as formidable raid bosses. These Pokémon come equipped with enhanced capabilities that elevate their challenge, and successfully conquering these raids can lead to exciting Shiny encounters.

The developers at Niantic intentionally amplify the Combat Power (CP) of these raid bosses, making them particularly tough adversaries. Given that many of these creatures are Legendary, the chances of encountering their Shiny variants are notably slim. To prepare effectively, players should not only strategize counters but also stay informed about the raid schedules, including dates and times. This comprehensive guide details the Mythical, Legendary, and Mega raid events for January 2025.
