Today Is Tapu Bulu's Last Raid Hour Before Leaving Pokémon GO

Today is Tapu Bulu’s last Raid Hour before it leaves Pokémon GO. This may be your last best chance to catch this Shiny Legendary.


Tonight is the second and final Tapu Bulu Raid Hour of this raid rotation in Pokémon GO. From 6 PM – 7 PM tonight, Wednesday, April 25th, this Grass/Fairy-type Alolan Island Guardian will be popping in raids all of the game. Most Gyms will feature these Tier Five raids, giving players another chance to battle Tapu Bulu before it leaves. Tapu Bulu is in the middle of its Shiny release, so it likely won't be featured for the rest of 2023 after this. Due to that, as well as the new limit on remote raiding, this may be a more popular in-person Raid Hour than we've seen in a while in Pokémon GO. Let's take a look at some tips for the one-hour event.
