What kind of event is this? The top raids in Pokémon GO take place regularly and usually last for a single day at selected times. The next event of this kind is already coming up this Sunday.
We show you everything you need to know about the top raids with Regieleki here in the overview.

After hatching, you have 30 minutes to challenge a raid boss. It is important that you can only participate in top raids on-site. Remote raiding is not possible.
Which Pokémon is this? Regieleki is a legendary Pokémon that belongs to the Electric type. It makes its debut in Pokémon GO at the top raids. However, you cannot catch it in its shiny form at the top raids yet.
If you want to catch Regieleki this season, the top raids on April 9 are your only chance for that.
Timed research: Update from April 6 at 7:05 PM: Niantic announced on Twitter that the timed research for this event will be canceled. The reason for this is the awarding of research that they want to improve. The timed research will be released at a later time, which is still unclear.
This is how the research was planned: If you participate in a top raid, you can also take part in a timed research. For completing the tasks, you will be rewarded with candies for Regirock, Regice, and Registeel.
Will you participate in the top raids on Sunday or are you busy during the holidays? In April, you can expect many more events in Pokémon GO.
