Pokemon GO Announces Hisuian Lilligant Raid Day Event
2025-07-03 07:28:08Pokemon GO has unveiled an exciting new Raid Day event centered around Hisuian Lilligant, scheduled for July 12, 2025. This special event falls within the second month of Season 19: Delightful Days, which began on June 3 with numerous additions for trainers worldwide.
Season 19 introduces several innovative features including the RSVP Planner, a tool designed to help players coordinate raid participation. The season also sees the return of GO Pass and Eggs-pedition Access, offering new benefits throughout June and July. Players can enjoy updated wild spawns, revised egg hatch pools, and three seasonal bonuses - one of which doubles the duration of Daily Incense Adventure effects.
The Hisuian Lilligant Raid Day will run from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time on July 12. During this window, trainers will have increased opportunities to encounter and potentially catch a shiny variant of this special regional form. Niantic has announced several event-specific bonuses:
- Remote Raid Pass limit increased to 20 from July 11 at 5:00 PM PT through July 12 at 8:00 PM PT
- Up to five additional free Raid Passes available from spinning Gym Photo Discs
- Enhanced shiny encounter rates for Hisuian Lilligant in raids
For trainers seeking additional benefits, a special $4.99 event ticket offers:
- Eight extra Raid Passes from Gym spins (14 total daily)
- Higher Rare Candy XL drop rates for level 31+ trainers
- 50% XP boost from Raid Battles
- Double Stardust from Raid Battles
Hisuian Lilligant represents a regional variant of the Generation 5 Pokemon, evolving from Petilil when exposed to a Sun Stone. Unlike its Unovan counterpart which is pure Grass-type, the Hisuian form gains Fighting-type attributes with a distinctive pink floral crown and elongated limbs.
