Pokemon Go players can participate in 5-Star, 3-Star, and 1-Star Shadow Raids monthly in addition to normal Raids to catch some exceptional ‘mons for their collection. Here’s who will appear throughout November 2024.
Niantic introduced Shadow Raids to Pokemon Go as part of the Rising Shadows event in May 2023. Unlike normal Raids, this version features Shadow Pokemon at a Gym captured by Team Go Rocket.
Also, the Pokemon in these Raids are stronger than their normal counterparts, and battling them increases their attack and defense. You should use Purified Gems to subdue the Shadow Pokemon, which are crafted from Shadow Shards.
The month of November has a special lineup featuring Shadow Suicune. Keep reading for more information on this month’s Raid schedule.
