Each month brings a new batch of Pokemon to battle and maybe catch, ranging from ordinary 1-Stars to uncommon 5-Star Legendaries. Here is the current Raid Bosses lineup for May 2022.
May looks to be a fun month for Pokemon Go players. There’s a new set of Spotlight Hour stars, a Community Day featuring Alolan Geodude, and lots of modifications to Mega Evolution. In 5-Star Raids, Trainers can face (and catch) another new Alola guardian deity, the Legendary Tapu Fini! All four guardian deities will return later this month.

How to get Raid Passes in Pokemon Go
A Raid Pass is required to participate in a Raid Battle. Every day, spin the Photo Disc at any Gym to win one Raid Pass. The Shop sells Premium Raid Passes if you run out. Remote Raid Passes are now available in Go. With them, you can join any Raid Battle that appears on the Nearby screen or can be accessed through Map View. Remote Raid Passes can be purchased from the Shop or given as free gifts.
When are Raid Hours?
Every week, Niantic runs a Raid Hour to help gamers catch the current 5-Star Raid Pokemon. Tapu Fini now has Raids in all 5-Star gyms. Raid Hours are every Wednesday from 6pm to 7pm, and are always in your local time. This is your chance to snag a Legendary.
