In Pokémon GO there are new raid bosses again. Above all, a fan favorite returns to the raids and players love it. We show you the complete list.
Which favorite is returning? This time it’s Dragonite as a Level 4 raid! This Pokémon was first catchable a few weeks ago and players loved the boss. Dragonite was only available for 3 days, but now the Dragon Pokémon should be here longer.
In addition to Dragonite, there are many other raid bosses that will help you especially in the battle against the legendary boss Giratina. This legendary Pokémon can now also be found in raids.
These are the new raid bosses in Pokémon GO
| Raid Level | Pokémon |
| Level 1 Raid (red egg) | Shedinja Drifloon Shinx |
| Level 2 Raid (red egg) | Flapple Drifblim Zoroark Alolan Marowak Sneasel |
| Level 3 Raid (yellow egg) | Keifel Granbull Machamp Alolan Raichu Gengar |
| Level 4 Raid (yellow egg) | Absol Hondoom Alolan Marowak Dragonite Togetic |
| Level 5 Raid (black egg) | Giratina |
What is special about the raids: The current raid bosses are often effective against the legendary raid boss Giratina. So you have good counters against Giratina with Gengar, Hondoom, or Dragonite .
In addition, there are numerous Shinies that can be obtained from the raids. Here is the list:
- Shedinja
- Drifloon
- Shinx
- Flapple
- Drifblim
- Zoroark
- Alolan Raichu
- Absol
- Alolan Marowak
That’s why Dragonite is the favorite: Despite the many Shinies, Dragonite remains the star among the raid bosses. Many players love this Pokémon from the 1st generation and are excited that they can battle the Dragon Pokémon.
This is what a user writes on Reddit: “I need to find a Dragonite and try it out in duo. I’m so excited!”
How long will the raid bosses stay? There is no exact time, but you can assume that these raids will continue until Giratina disappears from raids. This will be the case on April 29.
In the meantime, the bosses are likely to change due to events happening in between. After the events, however, these bosses will always return. At least until Giratina is gone.
Niantic is planning something big for the upcoming summer. Are you in?
