May 2025 in Pokémon GO is shaping up to be an exciting month, packed with thrilling events and the much-anticipated return of the Lake Trio in 5-Star Raids across various regions. Let's dive into what Pokémon GO has in store for May 2025.

What Does Pokémon GO Have in Store for May 2025?

Kicking off the month, Tapu Fini will take the spotlight in Five-Star Raids from May 1st to May 12th. Players can look forward to encountering this formidable Pokémon with its special move, Nature’s Madness, and even a chance to catch it in its Shiny form.

Following Tapu Fini, the Lake Trio makes a grand return starting May 12th, with the specific Pokémon available depending on your region. Trainers in the Asia-Pacific region will have the chance to battle Uxie, while those in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or India will encounter Mesprit. Players in the Americas and Greenland will face Azelf. This regional distribution adds a thrilling layer of exclusivity to the event.

As the Lake Trio's time in the spotlight concludes, Tapu Bulu will take over the Five-Star Raids from May 25th to June 3rd, 2025. Like Tapu Fini, it will also be available with the Nature’s Madness move and a chance to appear in its Shiny form.

For those interested in Mega Raids, May offers a robust lineup. From May 1st to 12th, Mega Houndoom will be available, followed by Mega Gyarados from May 12th to 25th. Wrapping up the month, Mega Altaria will take the stage from May 25th to June 3rd.
