Pokémon GO’s April 20–26 schedule is built around local raid windows, Max Battles, and a three-hour Gigantamax replay on Saturday, April 25. (pokemongohub.net) The week runs from Monday, April 20, at 12 a.m. local time through Sunday, April 26, at 11 p.m. local time. Dynamax Regirock is the featured Max Battle boss all week, with a one-hour Max Monday window on April 20 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time. (pokemongohub.net) Raid lineups change midweek. Groudon leaves five-star raids after April 21, and Tapu Koko takes over from April 22 to April 28; Mega Alakazam rotates out the same day for Mega Sharpedo. (pokemongohub.net; gamespot.com) Wednesday’s Raid Hour is the cleanest one-hour meetup slot this week. Tapu Koko is scheduled from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time on April 22, matching the standard April Raid Hour cadence. (pokemongohub.net; pokemongohub.net) Saturday is the biggest local-play block. Replay: GO Bigger runs April 25 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time, bringing back Gigantamax Venusaur, Gigantamax Charizard, Gigantamax Blastoise, and Gigantamax Gengar in G-Max Battles. (pokemongohub.net) That lineup favors in-person groups because Gigantamax battles are built around larger teams at Power Spots rather than solo clears. Pokémon GO previously described Gigantamax bosses as encounters that can require groups of 10 to 40 Trainers working together. (pokemongohub.net; pokemongolive.com) The week also closes out April’s Sustainability Week content. Pokémon GO Hub’s April calendar says Sustainability Week ran April 14 to April 20 and added Silicobra, Galarian Corsola wearing sunglasses, and Shiny Toedscool. (pokemongohub.net; gamespot.com) Outside the map, April’s GO Pass remains active through May 5 at 10 a.m. local time, with rewards that include Stardust, experience points, Max Particles, and an Entei encounter at higher ranks. Pokémon GO Hub says the Deluxe version adds premium items through the web store track. (gamerant.com; pokemongohub.net) Shadow Latios is still the weekend Shadow Raid boss during the Memories in Motion season, so local groups that miss Tapu Koko or the Gigantamax replay still have another coordinated option on Saturday and Sunday. (pokemongohub.net; pokemongohub.net) For trainers planning around one weeknight and one weekend session, the clearest targets are Tapu Koko on Wednesday evening and the GO Bigger replay on Saturday afternoon. Both run on local time, so the best version of this week is still the oldest one in Pokémon GO: show up where other players already are. (pokemongohub.net)
