If you’re a regular Pokemon GO player, chances are you’ve done your fair share of Raid Battles. These epic-scale fights have trainers teaming up with allies to take on powerful boss fights.

All Red Raid Egg Spawn Times
So far, Red Raid Eggs containing Elite Raid Battles have always appeared at 11 AM, 2 PM, and 5 PM local time.
Players will be able to see Red Eggs counting down for 24 hours before a powerful Raid Boss appears for just 30 minutes. However, it’s possible that these spawn times may change in the future.
Elite Raids will also presumably only be present on occasions where Niantic has a powerful new boss fight to unleash.
