Fashion Raid Day 2026 Announced for Pokémon GO

Much like Fashion Week in years past, a new event was announced today for Pokémon GO! This time, the event is the Fashion Raid Day, which takes all sorts of costumed Pokémon and puts them in raids. The event runs on Saturday, April 4, 2026 from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. local time.

The event features Butterfree, Diglett, Dragonite, Wooper, Sneasel, Kirlia, Absol, Shinkx, Croagunk, Blitzle, and Minccino in raids! Plus, you can get six free Raid Passes during the event. The featured Pokémon are also more likely to be Shiny!

Additionally, there's an event ticket for US$4.99 which gives an additional 14 (for a total of 20) Raid Passes, increased Candy XL Chance, 50% more XP from Raids, and 2x Stardust from Raids.

Here are the Pokémon in their outfits (from the Pokémon GO Twitter account):

The event seems like a good enough way to get these costumed Pokémon if you missed them. They are all wearing pretty cool outfits and a boosted Shiny chance seems nice. Let us know what you think!
