It's The Final Shiny Tapu Fini Raid Hour In Pokémon GO In May 2023

It’s the final Tapu Fini Raid Hour in Pokémon GO in May 2023, and it may be your last chance to catch this Shiny Legendary for a while.


Tonight is the second and final Tapu Fini Raid Hour in Pokémon GO in May 2023. From 6 PM – 7 PM tonight, Wednesday, May 197h, this Water/Fairy-type Alolan Island Guardian will be popping in raids all of the game. Most Gyms will feature these Tier Five raids, giving players a great chance to battle Tapu Fini. This is going to be the last major chance to catch Tapu Fini during its Shiny release, which is made difficult now due to Niantic pulling back on Remote Raid capabilities. Due to this new limit on remote raiding, this may be a more popular in-person Raid Hour than usual in Pokémon GO. Let's take a look at some tips for the one-hour event.
