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, giving trainers another chance to capture 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 bonus two). Utilize a Charged TM to teach your Shadow Ho-Oh the devastating Sacred Fire attack (130 power in Trainer Battles, 120 in Raids/Gyms).

Boost Your Raid Potential:

A special $5 ticket will be available, increasing your maximum obtainable Raid Passes from Gyms to 15! This ticket also unlocks additional bonuses:

  • Increased Rare Candy XL encounter rates.
  • 50% XP bonus from raids.
  • 2x Stardust from raids.

These ticket bonuses last until 10 pm local time on January 19th. An Ultra Ticket Box, priced at $4.99, will also be available in the in-game store, including an event ticket and a Premium Battle Pass.

More Pokémon GO Fun:

This exciting Shadow Raid Day follows the recent Sprigatito Community Day and the Fidough debut. More events are on the horizon, including the Community Day Classic (January 25th) and the Lunar New Year event (January 29th – February 2nd). Stay tuned for further details!
