These are the Pokémon that will appear in Tier Five raids in Pokémon GO this October 2023:

  • September 23rd – October 6th: Entei, Suicune, Raikou (can be all Shiny)

This Raid Rotation is live as of now in Pokémon GO. If you missed out on getting one of the Shiny Johto Beasts in a previous rotation, this is your chance to have these classic Legendaries sparkle for you.

  • October 6th – October 20th: Guzzlord (getting its Shiny release)

As with previous years, we are getting the good stuff in Raids before Halloween. The Shiny release of Guzzlord is a welcome change of pace from September 2023's Raids, which featured the return of Kartana and Celesteela but without their Shinies unlocked. I previously predicted that the Shiny Ultra Beasts would be the focus of Adventures Abound Tier Five Raids, so I'm excited to see this begin to come true.

  • October 21st – November 3rd: Darkrai (can be Shiny)

Niantic really needs to shake the addiction to Darkrai Raids during Halloween. This used to be the biggest event of the year, and Darkrai, as a consistent feature, is a huge anti-climax.

  • ALL MONTH: Shadow Moltres will be in Shadow Raids on Saturdays and Sundays

The Raid Hours for the month of October 2023 in Pokémon GO are:

  • Wednesday, October 4th, 2023:Entei, Suicune, Raikou (can be all Shiny)
  • Wednesday, October 11th, 2023: Guzzlord (getting its Shiny release)
  • Wednesday, October 18th, 2023:Guzzlord (getting its Shiny release)
  • Wednesday, October 25th, 2023: Darkrai (can be Shiny)
