Pokémon GO will introduce a new Hisuian form of Lilligant with its Shiny already unlocked during a Raid Day happening on July 12th. Let's get into the details.
Here's what's happening for the Hisuian Lilligant Raid Day event in Pokémon GO:
- Date and time: Saturday, July 12, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time
- New Pokémon: Hisuian Lilligant will debut in Raids. It will be available in its Shiny form upon release. Note that there is no Hisuian form of Lilligant's pre-evolution, Petilil. Petilil will not be able to evolve into Hisuian Lilligant at this time, making it quite like the previous Alolan forms of Marowak and Raichu, which have no Alolan pre-evolution.
