Electric and steel-type Pokémon have also invaded one-star raids, with Pikachu, Beldum, Shinx, Blitzle and Klink all being available for battle.
Both the three and five-star raid pools will change at 10am (local time) on Monday, 24th January, with Regice becoming available in five-star raids. Meanwhile, in three-star raids, you’ll be able to battle Dewgong, Piloswine, Monferno and Druddigon.
Finally, from Monday, 24th January at 12am (local time), Team Go Rocket will also be pushing their evil agenda once again. They will start invading PokéStops and their balloons will be flying through the sky more frequently. You can also use a Charged TM on a Shadow Pokémon to help it forget Frustration.
Team Go Rocket may have more plans…
The Season of Mythical Wishes continues with the Winter Holiday event, which has brought Mega Glalie to Pokémon Go. Don’t forget to partake in the new Go Battle League season.
Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
Remember - Team Go Rocket is up to no good during this event from Monday, 24th January at 12am (local time). We may learn more about their latest activities closer to this date…
Good luck catching Helioptile!
