Legendary and Mega raid bosses in Pokémon GO rotate on a fixed weekly schedule — but keeping track of when each boss starts, when Raid Hour hits, and what comes next is tedious if you rely on in-game notifications alone. This page includes a PoKeep raid schedule tracker that shows the current and upcoming gym bosses in one place, so you can plan Remote Raid Passes, Mega Energy, and local raid meetups without guessing.

How to Read the Raid Rotation
Pokémon GO raid bosses follow predictable weekly windows. Use the tracker above together with the rotation rules below to decide when to spend Remote Raid Passes.
Tuesday 10:00 PM 5-star and Shadow raid bosses rotate to a new legendary.
Wednesday 6:00 AM Mega Raid bosses switch to a new Mega Pokémon.
Wednesday 6:00 PM Raid Hour — every gym features the current 5-star boss for one hour.
The schedule list groups entries by week and highlights bosses that are live in gyms today. Countdown labels show when a rotation ends or when the next boss takes over — useful for deciding whether to burn a Remote Raid Pass tonight or wait for the next legendary.
Raid Types in Pokémon GO
5-Star & Legendary Raids
5-star raids are the primary source of legendary Pokémon. The featured boss changes roughly every week, and the same Pokémon appears during that week's Raid Hour. Use the 5-Star filter in the tracker to see only legendary rotations.
Mega Raids & Raid Day
Mega Raids reward Mega Energy for evolving and powering up Mega Pokémon. Raid Day events compress multiple Mega raid opportunities into a single afternoon — filter by Raid Day to spot these limited windows early.
Shadow Raids & Raid Hour
Shadow Raids let you battle corrupted legendary bosses and purify them after capture. They follow a similar weekly rotation to 5-star raids. Use the Raid Hour filter to see exactly when the featured legendary gets a one-hour bonus spawn window at every gym.
Tips for Planning Raid Passes
- Stack passes before a rotation ends. If a boss you need is leaving in 24 hours, prioritize it over waiting for the next unknown legendary.
- Raid Hour is the best value window. One pass can chain multiple lobbies if you join quickly — check the tracker countdown so you don't miss the 6–7 PM slot.
- Coordinate with local groups. Shadow and 5-star legendaries often need 4–6 trainers; knowing the schedule lets you ping your raid chat at the right time.
- Save Mega Energy for useful Megas. Filter Mega Raids to see which Mega is active before spending passes on energy you won't use.
Tips:
Bookmark this page and check it before buying Remote Raid Passes in bulk — you'll always see the current gym boss and the next rotation without digging through event posts.
Pokémon GO Raid Schedule FAQs
When do raid bosses change in Pokémon GO?
5-star and Shadow raid bosses usually rotate on Tuesday at 10:00 PM local time. Mega Raids typically switch on Wednesday at 6:00 AM local time. Event bosses can override the standard schedule for limited periods.
What is Raid Hour and when does it happen?
Raid Hour is a weekly one-hour window — usually Wednesday at 6:00 PM local time — when the current 5-star raid boss appears at every gym. It is the best time to chain multiple raids with a single pass if lobbies fill quickly.
How many Remote Raid Passes should I save for a new legendary?
Most players aim for 5–10 Remote Raid Passes when a legendary they need enters rotation. Raid Hour adds extra value because gyms spawn the same boss everywhere for sixty minutes, making it easier to join back-to-back lobbies.
Can Mega Raids and 5-star raids run at the same time?
Yes. Mega Raids and 5-star raids operate on separate weekly timers, so gyms can feature a legendary boss and a Mega boss in parallel. Use the tier filters on the tracker to focus on the raid type that matches your current goal.
Conclusion
The Pokémon GO raid schedule changes every week, but you don't need to dig through social media or patch notes to stay ahead. Use the live tracker to see current bosses, upcoming rotations, and Raid Hour times at a glance — then spend your passes on the legendaries and Megas that actually matter to your team.
