Niantic has finally revealed information surrounding Pokemon Go’s Regidrago Global Makeup event. Here’s everything fans need to know.
Pokemon Go fans will likely remember that Niantic’s first attempt at Regidrago’s Elite Raids on March 11, 2023, did not go very smoothly. The event was plagued with issues like frequent crashing and late assets.
Following some intense community backlash, Niantic issued an apology and said it was planning a way to “make it up to Trainers all over the world.” After weeks of silence, fans were wondering if the developer had simply forgotten about the makeup event altogether.
Thankfully, Niantic has finally unveiled the details of the Regidrago Global Makeup event, which will hopefully run much smoother the second time around. Here’s everything trainers need to know about these upcoming Regidrago Elite Raids.
Pokemon Go Regidrago Makeup event date & time
According to the official blog post, Pokemon Go will feature another round of Regidrago Elite Raids at three different times on Saturday, May 13, 2023:
- 11:00 AM local time

Like other Elite Raids, Regidrago will hatch from Raid Eggs, which players must take on for a chance to catch the Legendary Titan.

What are Elite Raids?
A newer variety of Raid Battles, Elite Raids appear in special Raid Eggs that take 24 hours to hatch before they can be battled for 30 minutes.
Unfortunately, they can only be battled in person which means no use of Remote Raid passes.
