Trainers have an updated Raid Boss schedule to tackle in March 2025 in Pokémon GO. From traditional raids and their strongest 5 Star Bosses to Mega Pokémon, Dynamax Pokémon, and Shadow Bosses, there is a lot for players to get stuck into. March sees the start of a new season as Might and Mastery run for the next three months. This season focuses on Dynamax Pokémon, but all Raid Battles are set to feature.

The month started with the Road To Unova Event and carried on strong. New Pokémon are set to make their debut in certain variants via Raid Bosses. While some elements may change throughout the month, such as Team GO Rocket Boss Giovanni's lineup in Pokémon GO, the Raid Boss Schedule is now set. Here are all the Bosses you can face off to try and capture in March 2025.

All 5-Star Raid Bosses In March 2025

Five Pokémon in Five Star Raids

There are five different 5-star Raid Bosses for trainers to take on in Pokémon GO in March 2025. These are the hardest tier of regular raids and will require a large number of trainers to have a chance of defeating.

While all of these Pokémon have featured in raids before, they are all strong options for the GO Battle League, so if you have missed out on them before, you should make sure to catch them.

Early on in the month, the three Gen 1 Legendary birds, Zapdos, Moltre,s and Articun,o are all available to be caught. The recent introduction of the birds into Dynamax Max Battles, following the Legendary Flight event, provides a good chance to earn more candies to power them up. Tapu Koko and Heatran also return to Max Raids for March. All of these five raids have the potential to reward you with shiny versions of the respective Pokémon.

Mega Raid Bosses In March 2025

Four Tough Tests With Mega Raids

There are four Mega Raid Bosses for players in Pokémon GO this month. Mega Pokémon have a huge advantage in battles, including PVP in Mega Cups, Raids, and encounters with Team GO Rocket. Each of these four battles will require several players to take down.

After defeating any Mega Raid bosses, you will get a chance to capture them, but in their base form. You will then need to use Mega Energy to evolve them into their Mega form, a state they will stay in for 24 hours.

Mega Garchomp, Mega Lucario, Mega Swampert, and Mega Pinsir feature in March 2025. All are strong, but two stand out. Lucario, in all forms, remains one of the top Fighting-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO, while Mega Swampert is one of the top performers in multiple GO Battle Leagues.

Max Raid Bosses In March 2025

Dynamax Pokémon Providing A Different Test

There are also a host of Max Raid Bosses with various difficulties available for all trainers to take on in Pokémon GO this month. These bosses provide opportunities to capture Dynamax Pokémon, a concept brought into the game in 2024.

Dynamax Max Raids offers a different type of battle in Pokémon GO. Each can be attempted by a maximum of four trainers together, but Pokémon's normal moves aren't used. With each attack, you build up your Max Meter, which then unlocks Max Moves to assist in the hardest of Max Raids. Alongside the regular Dynamax Pokémon this month, Dynamax Raikou makes its debut for the Max Battle Weekend.

Five Dynamax Pokémon are further featured as part of Max Monday hours, which take place between 6:00p and 7:00 pm local time every Monday across March.

Unlike the other Raid Bosses, many Dynamax Max Raid Pokémon appear twice across the month in different weeks. The majority of the Pokémon appearing in Max Raid Battles in March have previously been available to capture in Dynamax form, but two make their debuts. Chansey appears for the first time from March 17 until March 31, while Caterpie also debuts in this form in the last week of the month.

Shadow Raid Bosses In March 2025

Another Legendary Titan On Offer

Following on from February's Raid Boss Schedul,e when Regirock was the Shadow Raid Boss, it is replaced for March by fellow Legendary Titan Regice. As opposed to the standard Raid Bosses, Shadow Regice will only appear on weekends.

It can be found in the same way as normal raids in PokéStops. So your best bet to find it is to keep an eye on the nearby raids menu across weekends in March.

Shadow Regice can additionally be found in its shiny form if you are lucky.

Once you have found it, Shadow Regice is incredibly tough to beat. It is recommended that you take part in this battle with a minimum of six trainers, all with super-effective counters, to have a chance of beating it. It is a pure Ice-type, making it weak against Fighting-, Fire-, Rock-, and Steel-type attacks. Regice is one of the hardest raids in Pokémon G, but it is worth completing to get the chance to capture it in Pokémon GO.
