Pokémon GO’s April 20–26 schedule shifts midweek, with Tapu Koko and Mega Sharpedo entering raids on Wednesday and a Max Battle Day landing Saturday. (pokemongohub.net) The week runs from Monday, April 20, at 12:00 a.m. local time through Sunday, April 26, at 11:00 p.m. local time in the “Memories in Motion” season. Sustainability Week is still active at the start of Monday before the rest of the week rotates into its regular raid and Max Battle schedule. (pokemongohub.net) Monday’s featured one-hour event is Max Monday: Dynamax Regirock appears from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time, and Regirock stays in Max Battles for the full April 20–26 stretch. Wednesday’s Raid Hour runs from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time with Tapu Koko in five-star raids. (pokemongohub.net) The bigger pool changes hit at 10:00 a.m. local time on Tuesday, April 22. Groudon leaves five-star raids after April 21, Tapu Koko takes over from April 22–28, Mega Alakazam exits Mega Raids, and Mega Sharpedo replaces it for the same April 22–28 window. (pokemongohub.net) Saturday, April 25, is the week’s main set-piece: Max Battle Day runs from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time as a “Replay: GO Bigger Event.” Gigantamax Venusaur, Gigantamax Charizard, Gigantamax Blastoise, and Gigantamax Gengar all return during that three-hour block. (pokemongohub.net) That makes this week a cleanup window for players finishing Sustainability Week goals and a handoff into a new raid lineup before April closes. April’s broader calendar lists Sustainability Week on April 14–20 and Max Battle Day on April 25, with Steeled Resolve beginning April 28. (pokemongohub.net; eurogamer.net) One regular weekly slot is missing. Pokémon GO Hub’s April guide says the usual Tuesday Spotlight Hour is “currently cancelled,” even though Max Mondays and Wednesday Raid Hours continue on their normal 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local schedule. (pokemongohub.net) Weekend raiders also still have Shadow Latios in five-star Shadow Raids on Saturday and Sunday, while one-star and three-star Shadow Raids remain available daily. For players opening the app in Aliso Viejo or anywhere else, the week is less about one single event than a timed handoff from Sustainability Week into Tapu Koko raids and Saturday’s Gigantamax return.
