Every Wednesday evening, Pokémon Go features a Pokémon for their weekly Raid Hour. The schedule for each month is typically released towards the end of the previous month. Here is everything you need to know about the Raid Hour schedule for October 2021.

During every Raid hour, the Pokémon featured for the week will have a massively increased spawn rate in 5-star Raids for one hour, which is always at 6pm to 7pm local time. This means that no matter where you are in the world, the Raid Hour will always start at 6pm for you. These Raid Hours will not only feature these special Pokémon, but they will also show up much more frequently.
