Today Is Chill Drive Genesect Raid Hour #2 In Pokémon GO: August 2022

The second and final Chill Drive Genesect Raid Hour of the summer is happening tonight, Wednesday, August 17th, in Pokémon GO from 6 PM – 7 PM. During this time, most Gyms in the game will pop Tier Five raids featuring the Steel/Bug-type Mythical Pokémon. Now, if you have yet to get Chill Drive Genesect, be sure to do so tonight. Zacian and Zamazenta are on their way to take over Tier Five raids. They are arriving with the 2022 World Championships Event this week and they will stay in raids for the entire rest of August and will be the focus of the next two Raid Hours, respective. Let's get into some tips for tonight's raid hour.

• No Shiny!: In case you missed the update to last week's tips, please take note. Chill Drive Genesect cannot be Shiny. That was a mistake that was amended, and I'd hate to think anyone who saw the early version was still out there Shiny hunting!
