Pokemon Go's next special five star raid is coming soon, and trainers will be facing off against a Alolan island guardian this time around.
Tapu Lele, the game's second Legendary Pokemon hailing from the Alolan region, has been named as the latest Pokemon Go five-star raid, running from now until March 26.

If you caught Tapu Koko you're on your way to completing the set, so if you're going to challenge the Tapu Lele raid check out our tips below.

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