In Pokémon GO, regular raids don’t run 24 hours a day; they have a daily “window” and then stop for the night.

When do raids stop in Pokémon GO?

For standard raids (1–5 star, Mega, etc.):

  • Raid eggs can appear roughly between 5:00 a.m. and 7:45 p.m. local time. After that, no new raid eggs should spawn on gyms.
  • Raids themselves usually end for the day around 9:00–9:30 p.m. local time. Players often report that you rarely see active raids after 9:30 p.m.
  • Because an egg needs time to hatch and the raid needs time to run, the last possible egg spawn is around 7:45 p.m. , which then leads into a raid that ends by about 9:30 p.m.

Think of it like this: the game gives the last gyms an egg before 8 p.m., lets that egg hatch, then gives you the usual raid battle window, and after that, the map goes quiet for raids until early morning again.

Mini breakdown

  • New raid eggs appear: ~5:00 a.m.–7:45 p.m. local time.
  • Last raids finishing: usually by ~9:30 p.m. local time.
  • Events can bend the rules: During special events or raid days, Niantic can extend or tweak these times, so you might occasionally see unusual schedules.

Quick example story

You’re out after work at 7:40 p.m. and see a gym with no egg yet.
A minute later, an egg pops with a 1‑hour hatch timer, then a 45‑minute raid window. That setup would be pushed to fit within the typical cutoff, so in practice the game keeps the last egg spawn around 7:45 p.m. so everything wraps by about 9:30 p.m. your local time.

Forum-style recap

“Usually nothing after 9 p.m.”
“9:30 p.m. is the end point… the cutoff for one to spawn is 7:45 p.m.”

So if you’re planning your evening: aim to be at your last raid before 9 p.m. , and don’t expect fresh eggs to pop up after 7:45 p.m. local time.

TL;DR:
Raids stop appearing for the day when no new eggs spawn after about 7:45 p.m., and active raids wrap up by around 9:30 p.m. local time , outside of special events.
