Trainers, Niantic and Pokemon Go announced a new Raid level called Elite Raids and Hoopa Unbound is the first Pokemon to appear in Elite Raids.
Niantic and Pokemon Go introduced the new Elite Raids in the game and Mysterious Raid Eggs with 24-hour timers are now appearing around the world. The first Pokemon to appear in the Elite Raids is Hoopa Unbound and once the 24h Raid Egg has hatched, players will have 30 minutes to battle and defeat Hoopa Unbound.
Now, the first Elite Raid will begin at 11 AM, 2 PM, or 5 PM local time on October 16, 2022. The Elite Raid Eggs take 24 hours to hatch, and once the Raid Egg has hatched you have 30 minutes to challenge the Raid Boss, in our case Hoopa Unbound.
