As another new month kicks off, Pokemon GO players have a ton of excitement to explore and look forward to. The Season of Alola is well underway now and the April 2022 calendar of events brings even more excitement to the mobile AR game's latest activities. In addition to all of the other special limited time and ongoing events, players will have a chance to battle some fierce raid bosses over the coming weeks.
Players are likely currently racing around enjoying the limited-time April Fool's Day activities, but they may want to stop along the way for some Battle Raids, as well. This month brings back some familiar and powerful bosses and PvP and PvE Pokemon GO fans should have some decent motivation to burn through Battle Raid Passes and earn some big encounters or Mega Candy.
Early in the month players can continue battling Tapu Lele, but it won't be long before some changes arrrive. Therian Forme Thundurus is going to make another return to take players through the rest of early April before Tapu Bulu arrives to shake things up in the middle of the month for a few exciting weeks.

The inclusion of a suprise Mega Raid boss towards the end of the month is definitely an exciting tease, so trainers should keep an eye out for more details and announcements about that in the coming weeks. It's always possible that additional Battle Raids may show up as surprise events come and go throughout the coming month and that there are already some surprises promised for the last week of the month.
That should be just about everything players know about the upcoming month, but we should learn more about other upcoming events during the coming days of the Season of Alola. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
