May 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting month for Pokémon GO players, packed with a variety of events and raid opportunities. The highlight of the month is undoubtedly the return of the Lake Trio in 5-Star Raids across multiple regions.
Kicking off the month, Tapu Fini will make its appearance in Five-Star Raids from May 1st to May 12th. Players can look forward to encountering this Pokémon with the special move Nature’s Madness, along with a chance to find its Shiny form.
Following Tapu Fini, the Lake Trio will take the stage starting May 12th. Depending on your location, you could encounter Uxie in the Asia-Pacific region, Mesprit in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or India, and Azelf in the Americas or Greenland.
After the Lake Trio's stint, Tapu Bulu will enter the raids from May 25th to June 3rd, 2025. Like Tapu Fini, it will also feature Nature’s Madness and a potential Shiny form.
For those interested in Mega Raids, May offers a robust lineup. Mega Houndoom will be available from May 1st to 12th, followed by Mega Gyarados from May 12th to 25th, and finally, Mega Altaria from May 25th to June 3rd.
The month's events start with "Growing Up" from May 2 to 7, and a special Mega Kangaskhan Raid Day on May 3rd. "Crown Clash" takes place from May 10th to 18th, overlapping with the Dynamax Suicune Max Battle Weekend on May 10th and 11th.
Community Day is scheduled for May 11th, though the featured Pokémon remains a mystery. "Crown Clash: Taken Over" will run from May 14th to 18th, and a Shadow Raid Day is set for May 17th.
The action continues with "Final Strike: GO Battle Week" from May 21st to 27th, and May 24th will host the Community Day Classic. The month wraps up with a Gigantamax Machamp Max Battle Day on May 25, 2025.
