To easily beat these Mega Raids, Pokemon Go recommends parties of five high-level players. Of course, having strong Pokemon with effective attacks is the key to beating the timer and can let you win the battle with even fewer trainers.

Pokemon Go Shadow Raids in March 2024

You can battle powerful Shadow Pokemon with special game mechanics and items. You should note that Shadow Raids are available alongside regular Raids in Pokemon Go.

Here are the Pokemon Go Shadow Raid bosses for March:

It’s also worth noting that 5-Star Shadow Raids are only active in Pokemon Go on weekends. That’s when you’ll find more Team Go Rocket Grunts in PokeStops as well. Players can expect these Raids to be more challenging than usual, so it’s recommended to tackle them with a group of five or more trainers to be sure. Shadow Raids can only be done locally, so keep that in mind.

Pokemon Go 5-Star Raids feature the most powerful species in the game, as they often feature Legendary Pokemon and are very tough to beat. The recommended number of trainers varies from four to up to ten players between levels 40 and 50.

One high-level trainer can challenge 3-Star Raids in Pokemon Go alone, but you’ll be battling against the clock. If you play your cards right and use type advantages, you should be able to clear them before time runs out.

Pokemon Go 1-Star Raids are the easiest challenges and can be done by one trainer alone, so keep that in mind when checking the current rotation.

Also, it’s important to note that most in-game events override the Raid bosses, so make sure you check this article often to stay up to date.

What are Pokemon Go Raid Hours?

Pokemon Go Raid Hours are hosted once a week and allow players to battle and catch the current 5-Star Raid Pokemon. That means all Gyms with active Raids will feature that Legendary Pokemon.

The next Raid Hour in Pokemon Go will feature Tapu Lele and will take place on March 27. Raid Hours occur from 6 PM to 7 PM local time in Pokemon Go. Ensure you have enough Raid Passes and Remote Raid Passes to take full advantage of Raid Hours every week.
