May 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting month for Pokémon GO players, packed with a variety of events and raid opportunities. The highlight of the month is undoubtedly the return of the Lake Trio to 5-Star Raids across multiple regions, offering players a chance to catch these elusive Pokémon.

What Does Pokémon GO Have in Store for May 2025?

Kicking off the month, Tapu Fini will be available in Five-Star raids from May 1st to May 12th. This Pokémon comes with the special move Nature's Madness and a chance to encounter its Shiny form, making it a must-catch for collectors and competitive players alike.

Depending on your location, you'll have the opportunity to encounter Uxie in the Asia-Pacific region, Mesprit in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India, and Azelf in the Americas and Greenland. This regional distribution adds an exciting layer of strategy and community engagement to the event.

After the Lake Trio's departure, Tapu Bulu will take over the Five-Star raids from May 25th to June 3rd, 2025. Like Tapu Fini, Tapu Bulu will also feature the Nature's Madness move and a chance to encounter its Shiny variant.
