These raids will feature Pokemon that evolved from using either a Moon Stone or a Sun Stone. Some lucky Trainers may even encounter a Shiny Clefable! This event will run from Thursday, September 17 at 5:00 PM PDT until Sunday, September 20, at 4:59 PM PDT.
During the event, you’ll encounter raids with the following Pokemon more frequently:
Pokemon evolved using a Moon Stone: Clefable, Wigglytuff, Musharna
Pokemon evolved using a Sun Stone: Bellossom, Whimsicott, Lilligant

Players can participate in the event by connecting their Switch system to the internet. Then when they see a pillar of light shining from a Pokemon Den in the Wild Area, walk up to it and interact to begin a Max Raid Battle.
