Pokemon GO Raids for August 2022
These Boss Raids happen every Wednesday in this month of August between 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM local time. The Pokemon GO Raids give Trainers the time to catch rare Pokemons during the whole hour and a Legendary Pokemon is featured on every raid day. The Raid hour is Pokemon GO‘s way to involve players all around the globe with their community-based events and activities during this Season of GO, the GO Fests, and such.
5-Star Raids
- August 3rd – Palkia: Last August 3, we hope you encountered the legendary Pokemon, Palkia which hails from the Sinnoh region. Palkia is a Water- and Dragon-type Pokemon.
- Legendary Palkia and its Shiny version (if you’re lucky!) appear in Pokemon GO Gymnasiums during the 5-Star Boss Raid.
- It can take Fire, Water, and Steel attacks. However, you may want to take note that Palkia weakens to Fairy and Dragon attacks like Alola, Dialga, Exeggutor, and Garchomp, or choose any of your Pokemons who strongly blow any Dragon or Fairy attacks.
- August 10th & August 17th– Genesect: We hope you can face Genesect tomorrow and the 17th, as it is the featured Pokemon for the second Raid hour. Genesect comes from the Unova region and is a Bug- and Steel-type Pokemon.
- Also, you can catch this Mythical creature at Pokemon GO Gyms. Equip your Pokemon with a strong Fire attack such as Blaziken, Charizard, or Flareon upon challenging Genesect to give more damage to the opponent.
- Accordingly, it can hold Grass, Poison, Bug, Dragon, Fairy, Ice, Normal, Psychic, and Steel attacks.
- August 24th – Zacian: Consecutively, you can encounter the Galar region’s Zacian on the fourth Wednesday of August. See him at the Pokemon GO Gyms and pull your Pokemons with strong Poison and Steel attacks like Dialga, Excadrill, or Metagross.
- Zacian is Fairy-type but can withhold attacks of Dragon, Bug, Dark, Fairy, Fire, Flying, Grass, Ice, Normal, Psychic, and Rock.
- August 31st – Zamazenta: Lastly, following another from the Galar region, the legendary Zamazenta comes to the last Wednesday of the Pokemon GO Raid for the month.
- The Fighting-type Zamazenta can resist Rock, Bug, and Dark attacks.
- Moreover, you may want to use Pokemons with powerful Flying, Psychic, or Fairy attacks as Zamazenta weakens to those moves.

August 2022 Mega Raids
Without a doubt, Mega Raids are also available for this month’s raid battles. In this Raid, Trainers are able to face Mega forms of known Pokemons. You may be familiar with the original form of the Pokemon, however, you must take note that these are Mega Pokemons, so pick out what can be most effective to defeat the following:
- July 31st to August 10th – Mega Abomasnow: This Mega Abomasnow is a Grass- and Ice-type Pokemon that you should look out for in the following days. However, this Mega variant weakens to Fire, Fighting, Flying, Poison, Rock, Bug, and Steel attacks, so be sure to bring out strong Fire attacks (most possibly!) like Entei, Moltres, or Reshiram.
- August 10th to August 18th – unfortunately, is still unannounced.
- August 18th to August 25th – Mega Slowbro: On to the next Pokemon, Mega Slowbro is a Water- and Psychic-type. This creature weakens to Bug, Ghost, Grass, Electric, and Dark attacks. However, you can counter this Mega using Pheromosa, Thundurus, or Xurkitree as these attacks throw powerful damage to Mega Slowbro.
- August 25th to August 31st – Mega Ampharos: The last boss for the Mega Raid battle this month, Mega Ampharos is an Electric- Dragon-type Pokemon. You should know that this Mega Pokemon deals a lot of damage when thrown with Ground, Ice, Dragon, and Fairy attacks. Moreover, you can use Garchomp, Mamoswine, or Rhyperior when you encounter Mega Ampharos.
