Wednesday Raid Hour runs from <strong>6:00 PM to 7:00 PM SGT<\/strong>, packing Legendary Raids into gyms across the island \u2014 meaning more encounters, more chances at the Shiny form, and less time wandering between gyms looking for active eggs.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/acozy1aws4s\" title=\"Hard to be sneaky when you shine so bright! \ud83e\udd29\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>Hard to be sneaky when you shine so bright! \ud83e\udd29 \u2014 via Pok\u00e9mon GO on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Raid Hour Details: Wednesday, 29 July, 6\u20137 PM Local Time<\/h2>\n<p>Pok\u00e9mon GO&#8217;s weekly <a href=\"https:\/\/nintendowire.com\/guides\/pokemon-go\/raid-hour-for-july-29th-2026\/\">Raid Hour<\/a> takes place every Wednesday at the same time: 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM your local time. For Singapore trainers, that means <strong>6:00\u20137:00 PM SGT tonight<\/strong>. During that hour, gyms in range flood with 5-Star eggs, dramatically cutting down the time between battles compared to a regular raid session. You can reasonably chain four to six fights in that window if you are near a cluster of gyms \u2014 think around Suntec City, Bugis, or any neighbourhood park with three or four gyms in walking distance.<\/p>\n<p>Kyurem is an Ice and Dragon type Legendary. Its vulnerabilities include <strong>Steel, Fighting, Rock, Fire, Dragon, and Fairy<\/strong> moves. Reliable counters include Machamp, Lucario, and Conkeldurr for Fighting-type pressure; Metagross and Dialga for Steel; and Rhyperior or Rampardos for Rock. Avoid Dragon-type attackers unless you are confident Kyurem will not land a Dragon Claw or Dragon Breath before you can faint it.<\/p>\n<h2>Free Rare Candy XL All Day on In-Person Raids<\/h2>\n<p>Starting at midnight local time and running through 11:59 PM tonight (Wednesday, 29 July), <strong>every completed in-person Raid Battle earns you one Rare Candy XL<\/strong>. That bonus stacks across all raid tiers, so even grinding lower-star raids between the Kyurem attempts counts. Rare Candy XL is one of the scarcest resources in the game for powering up Pok\u00e9mon to Level 50, so tonight&#8217;s session doubles as a stardust-efficient candy run \u2014 use your free daily Raid Pass on Kyurem, then spend a Premium Battle Pass or two on whatever else is in your gyms.<\/p>\n<h2>Shiny Kyurem Is Available<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kyurem-shiny-art.png?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Shiny Kyurem official artwork \u2014 the alternate colour form of the Boundary Pok\u00e9mon\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Yes \u2014 <strong>Shiny Kyurem is in the encounter pool<\/strong>. The golden-tinted palette swap flips Kyurem&#8217;s dark grey body to a warm amber-gold with white accents, making it one of the better-looking shiny Legendaries around. Shiny odds in standard 5-Star Raids sit at roughly 1 in 20, so a solid Raid Hour session gives you a meaningful number of attempts. Check each catch screen carefully before tapping away.<\/p>\n<h2>Looking Ahead: Uxie Raid Hour Next Wednesday \u2014 Singapore Included<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/uxie-official-art.png?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Uxie official artwork \u2014 the Knowledge Pok\u00e9mon, exclusive to the Asia-Pacific region in Pok\u00e9mon GO\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Next Wednesday&#8217;s Raid Hour (5 August) brings a trio of Lake Guardians: <strong>Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf<\/strong>. These three are region-locked \u2014 and <strong>Uxie is the Asia-Pacific exclusive<\/strong>, which means Singapore trainers are the ones who get it. Mesprit is locked to Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India; Azelf is Americas and Greenland. If you have friends overseas who still need Uxie for their Pok\u00e9dex, next Wednesday is a prime Remote Raid window to share.
