Pokémon GO announces a Shadow Raid Day featuring Ho-Oh on January 19th, 2025—the first such event of the year. Trainers will have a renewed opportunity to capture this top-tier Fire-type Pokémon.
Shadow Raids, introduced in 2023, provide a unique way to obtain Shadow Pokémon after defeating Team GO Rocket. 2024 saw numerous engaging events, including the return of Shadow Moltres and Shadow Mewtwo. Ho-Oh, a Legendary Bird of Kanto, was originally added in 2020, with Shadow Mewtwo debuting at Pokémon GO Fest that same year. This event marks another exciting return of a powerful Pokémon.
Shadow Ho-Oh will star in the January 19th Shadow Raid Day, running from 2 PM to 5 PM local time. This Legendary Pokémon will appear in five-star raids, with increased shiny Shadow Ho-Oh encounter rates. Players can obtain up to five free Raid Passes from spinning Gyms, increasing to seven. A Charged TM can teach Ho-Oh the powerful Charged Attack, Sacred Fire (130 power in Trainer Battles, 120 in Raids and Gyms).
To enhance the Ho-Oh Shadow Raid Day experience, Niantic offers a $5 ticket increasing the maximum Raid Passes from Gyms to 15. This ticket also boosts Rare Candy XL encounter rates and provides a 50% XP bonus and 2x Stardust from raid battles until 10 PM local time on January 19th. The Pokémon GO in-app store will sell a $4.99 Ultra Ticket Box including an event ticket and a bonus Premium Battle Pass.
Despite being early in the year, the Pokémon GO event calendar is already packed. Sprigatito Community Day concluded on January 5th, and Fidough—a 2025 Pokémon GO debut—is available until January 7th. Further anticipated events include Community Day Classic (January 25th) and the Lunar New Year event (January 29th to February 2nd).
