Blacephalon is a Legendary 5-star raid inPokémon GO. First introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Blacephalon is a powerful Ultra Beast with a colourful, humanoid form that resembles what you would imagine the child of a clown and a plasma ball would look like. Like its counterpart, Stakataka, its homeworld is well beyond the worlds that Solgaleo and Lunala could take you to through the Ultra Warp Ride feature in the games. Thankfully for us in Pokémon GO, it’s coming to us in the Western Hemisphere (North and South America) all the way up until the beginning of June!
Keep in mind, its shiny form is not yet available in Pokemon GO. However, we’ve included it so that you can check it out. The shiny variant is the blue one.
