May 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting month for Pokémon GO enthusiasts, with a lineup of events and raid battles that promise to keep players engaged. One of the highlights is undoubtedly the return of the Lake Trio—Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf—to 5-Star Raids across various regions.

Kicking off the month, Tapu Fini will be featured in Five-Star Raids from May 1st to May 12th. This legendary Pokémon brings with it the powerful move Nature's Madness and offers a chance to encounter its Shiny form.
