Pokemon GO Raid Hours [May 2022]: All Legendary Pokemon In Raids

The Pokemon GO Raid Hours for May 2022 are finally here, with another slew of legendary Pokemon to defeat. On Wednesday every week, there will be an increased number of Tier 5 Raids in Pokemon GO, taking place between 6pm and 7pm local time. Here are all the Pokemon GO Raid Hours in May 2022.

Make Raids a little easier by brushing up on the Pokemon GO type chart.  

Pokemon GO Raid Hours [May 4]: Mega Latios & Mega Latias

Niantic is switching it up a bit this time around, giving us Mega Raids during a Raid Hour. May 4 will feature both Mega Latios and Mega Latias for the weekly Raid Hour. 

These two are both Psychic/Dragon-types, meaning they'll be weak to Dark, Ice, Bug, Ghost, Fairy, and Dragon itself. Good counters include Giratina (Origin), Salamence, Mega Gengar, Weavile, Mamoswine, and Dialga. 

Both Latios and Latias are available in their shiny forms. 

Pokemon GO Raid Hours [May 11 and May 18]: Tapu Fini

The fourth and final Island Deity from the Alola region, Tapu Fini, has finally arrived in Pokemon GO. Tapu Fini is a Water/Fairy-type and will be featured in the weekly Raid Hours on May 11 and May 18 (as well as on May 25, but more on that later). 

Tapu Fini is weak to Poison, Grass, and Electric. Some of the best counters include Zekrom, Raikou, Zapdos, Roserade, Zarude, and Magnezone.

Unfortunately, none of the Tapus, including Tapu Fini, are available shiny. 

Pokemon GO Raid Hours [May 25]: Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, and Tapu Fini

For the last Raid Hour of both May and the Season of Alola, all four Island Guardians will be featured. This means that Tier 5 Raids can be either Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, or Tapu Fini. 

These four Legendaries share the Fairy-type, but have differing second types. 

Tapu Koko is Electric/Fairy, meaning it's weak to Poison and Ground. Some of your best bets against it will be Roserade, Groudon, Mamoswine, Excadrill, Landorus, and Garchomp. 

Tapu Lele is Psychic/Fairy, so it'll take extra damage from Poison, Steel, and Ghost. Top counters include Metagross, Garchomp, Mega Gengar, Dialga, and Chandelure. 

Tapu Bulu is a Grass/Fairy-type, so it's double weak to Poison. It's also weak to Fire, Ice, Flying, and Steel. Opt for Poison-types like Roserade, Salazzle, Mega Gengar, Mega Beedrill, Vileplume, and Muk. However, its other weaknesses are worth exploiting too, with Pokemon like Reshiram, Weavile, Moltres, and Metagross. 

Tapu Fini's weaknesses and counters are listed above.
