Another month means another new schedule of both current and upcoming Raid bosses in Pokémon Go in February 2025.

Along with 5-Star Raids and Mega Raids, the game has added extra events over the years, like Shadow Raids, Raid Hours, and even Max Battles.

There's a lot in the Raid schedule to explain and a lot to enjoy in Pokémon Go this month. If you're a big collector of Shinies, too, many of these Raid bosses have a chance of being Shiny themselves.

Remember you'll need extra PokéCoins to buy Remote Raid Passes to take part in all the Raids remotely!

Keep reading for the full February schedule of Raid bosses in Pokémon Go.

Pokémon Go February 2025 – Mega Raid schedule

There are three Mega Raids available in Pokémon Go during February 2025, all starting at 10am local time.

24th January - 6th February

  • Mega Medicham (Shiny available)
  • Weakness: Counter with Flying, Fairy, and Ghost-type attacks

6th February - 17th February

  • Weakness: Counter with Fighting, Bug, Fairy, Grass, Ground, Steel, and Water-type attacks

17th February - 4th March

  • Mega Garchomp
  • Weakness: Counter with Ice, Dragon, and Fairy-type attacks

Mega Raids are just like regular Raids in Pokémon Go, but instead, you battle its Mega-Evolved form.

While defeating the boss only allows you to catch the non-Mega-Evolved version of that Pokémon, Mega Raids are one of the only ways to get Mega Energy in Go, so you can save up and Mega-Evolve that Pokémon yourself.

  • 8th February
  • 9th February
  • 15th February
  • 16th February
  • 22nd February
  • 23rd February

Regirock is a pure Rock-type in Pokémon Go, meaning it has five weaknesses: Fighting, Grass, Ground, Steel, and Water-type attacks.

In addition, February will also feature the following 1- and 3-Star Shadow Raids daily:

3-Star Shadow Raid bosses

  • Mawile (Shiny available)
  • Sableye (Shiny available)
