Much like the characters in the game itself, Pokemon GO continues to evolve with hard work and determination. Continuous new events, Pokemon, and more are constantly being added to the game, keeping it feel fresh as it nears its 6th anniversary. You’ll be able to find Pokemon from every region in the game, and even some Legendary Pokemon have started making their way into the fray now.
The mystical Tapu Fini is coming into the world of Pokemon Go, available from May 10th until May 25th, 2022 in the form of Five Star Raids!

Let’s dive into the details, and see what you’ll need to do to get your hands on this Legendary Pokemon!
Pokemon GO – Can Tapu Fini Be Shiny
May not only looks to bring lots of flowers after April showers, but a whole slew of new activities and Pokemon to get your hands on.
