With the arrival of Vesprit as a legendary raid in Pokémon GO, there are now more new raid bosses. However, many players are missing one Pokémon from the list.
These are the raid bosses: The bosses are mostly very good counters against Vesprit. There are top counters like Tyranitar or Houndoom as Level 4 raids.
This boss is missing: Numerous players had hoped for Lapras among the new bosses, as the possible Shiny is no longer available in the new field research. They hoped that it could at least be found in raids, but Niantic disappoints many fans there.
These are the raid bosses for May 2019
| Raid Level | Pokémon |
| Level 1 Raid (red egg) | Shuppet Sableye Sheinux Driftloon |
| Level 2 Raid (red egg) | Flunkifer Traunfugil Kokowei Sniebel Tannza |
| Level 3 Raid (yellow egg) | Gengar Torhaido Machoke Alolan Raichu Sewaddle |
| Level 4 Raid (yellow egg) | Absol Tyranitar Alolan Marowak Tangela Houndoom |
| Level 5 Raid (black egg) | Vesprit |
These bosses are worth it: If you want to build a good counter team against Vesprit, you should do some raids from the list. The following Pokémon are the most worthwhile:
- Tyranitar
- Houndoom
- Absol
- Sniebel
- Gengar
Here you can find Shinies: Many Pokémon from the list can be found as Shinies. This includes all Level 1 raids:
- Shuppet
- Sableye
- Driftloon
- Sheinux
- Flunkifer
- Traunfugil
- Tannza
- Alolan Raichu
- Sewaddle
- Absol
- Alolan Marowak
That’s why players want Lapras: The raid bosses are solid overall, yet many players want to encounter a Lapras. This Pokémon is currently one of the most hyped Shinies in the game.
Lapras is an incredibly rare Shiny, which is why so many players want it. In the wild, Lapras is hard to find, so one must hope for quests or raids. Currently, there are neither Lapras quests nor Lapras raids.
How long will the raid bosses remain in the game? This list will likely only change when Vesprit leaves the raids. That will not happen until May 27. In the meantime, there will surely be events. During those, the bosses may also change for the event period. This was the case recently with the ground event.
