Yveltal makes its return to Pokemon Go Gyms near you for a limited-time appearance in five-star raid battles. This legendary Pokemon is appearing along with the start of Pokemon Go’s Fashion Week event. Yveltal hasn’t been available in Pokemon Go since its debut in May 2021, so now is a great opportunity to catch one if you missed out before.
Yveltal Raid Schedule
Yveltal is appearing as the sole five-star raid boss in Pokemon Go from 10 AM local time on September 27, 2022 and will remain available to challenge in raids until the same time on October 8. Raids do not generally follow a set schedule, and Yveltal raids will appear randomly at Gyms around the world during this time period, but you will receive a notification from the game when a raid is about to begin nearby.
Your best chance to find Yveltal raids is during the two Raid Hours in which the Destruction Pokemon will be featured. Every Wednesday from 6 PM to 7 PM local time, the majority of Gyms host five-star raids for Trainers to work together to take down. The two Raid Hours that will occur while Yveltal is available to challenge will be on September 28 and October 5. As with all raids, you’ll need your free daily Raid Pass or a Premium Battle Pass to join a raid in person, or a Remote Raid Pass to join a raid remotely.
