Where can I find the current 5-star raid boss list?

The current 5-star raid boss rotates roughly every two weeks on Wednesdays. PokéEvent tracks all active and upcoming raid bosses with countdown timers. Shadow and Mega variants appear as separate entries with their own schedules.

Does Shadow Dialga have a shiny form during Shadow Raids?

Shiny availability for Shadow raid bosses changes with each rotation. Check the event page on PokéEvent for the specific Shadow Raids event to see whether a shiny form is listed — if it is, the catch rate follows the standard 1/64 shiny odds for Shadow encounters.

What is a Mega Raid Day and when is the next one?

Mega Raid Day is a limited-time event where Mega Evolution debuts or returns with increased spawns, often with exclusive Elite Raids appearing at select locations. PokéEvent tracks Mega Raid Day schedules and counts down to the next one.

What are Elite Raids and how do they work?

Elite Raids are ultra-rare raid events appearing at select physical PokéStops for a single 24-hour window. The raid boss is always a Mega Pokémon or legendary, and a standard Raid Pass or Remote Raid Pass does not work — you must use an Elite Raid Ticket obtained from specific events or purchases.
