Pokemon Go's next special five-star raid is now on, and trainers will need to be ready to rock in their veins in order to catch this legendary Pokemon.
Regirock from the Hoenn region has been named as the latest Pokemon Go five-star raid, running from now until February 7. Regirock's time as the five-star raid Pokemon comes as part of the game's Lunar New Year event, and it was also listed as part of the February 2022 event schedule. Regirock was the second of the three "Regi" Pokemon to be introduced to Pokemon Go, following Regice which featured as the special five-star raid last week. However, any chance to add a rare Pokemon like this is worth it, so if you're going to challenge the raid, check out our tips below.
Regirock is this week's highlighted five-star raid.
There is one hope for those who need a Regirock appearance though: Pokemon Go's weekly Raid Hour on Wednesday night. This week's Raid Hour--February 2 from 6 PM to 7 PM local time--will feature the Rock Peak Pokemon at nearly every Gym in the game. If you want a guaranteed shot at Regirock, gather your friends and head out after dinner on Wednesday night.
Other type weaknesses to consider are Water and Grass, meaning Blastoise or even the Venusaur you might have found during the Bulbasaur Community Day Classic will also be valid options.
Once you've captured the Rock Peak Pokemon for yourself, take it for a few rounds in the Go Battle League while you get ready for the next Community Day featuring Hoppip.
