Pokémon GO Fest 2021 Legendary Pokémon Raid Schedule

As this year’s Pokémon GO Fest is celebrating the game’s fifth anniversary, it makes sense that they’d pull out all the stops and turn a bucket of cool stuff over our collective heads. And say, you know what always drives the crowds into a frothing frenzy? Legendary Pokémon. But which Legendary Pokémon would best represent the game’s anniversary? How about… all of them! Here’s the schedule for Pokémon GO Fest 2021’s Legendary Pokémon Raids.

The second day of Pokémon GO Fest 2021, Sunday, July 18th, is all about Raids, with Raids of all star values slated to pop up all over the world for your combative pleasure. As Niantic revealed today, however, the five-star Raids will be the highlight of the day; over the course of the day, every single Legendary Pokémon currently in the PokéDex will be headlining five-star Raids. Of course, if they tried to deploy them all at once, things would devolve into anarchy, so they’re going to be on a rotating schedule.
