The main draw for March’s raids is the return of Pokémon like Tapu Koko and Tapu Lele in regular five-star raids with the move Nature’s Madness. Shadow Raids are also getting a refresh with the first appearance of Shadow Raikou in this format. All players also get extra XP for completing one and three-star raids and double damage in any raid involving friends, so get out there and take advantage of those World of Wonders seasonal boosts.
