Tapu Koko enters the five-star Raid ring starting March 1 at 10 AM local time, remaining there until 8 PM on March 15. Unfortunately the game does not follow any set schedules with its raid--there's no guarantee Tapu Koko will be waiting for you--but the game constantly tells you who's around to raid, so just keep an eye out.

There is one hope for those who need a Regirock appearance though: Pokemon Go's weekly Raid Hour on Wednesday night.
