In Pokémon GO there are new raid bosses again. They match the spawns from the GO Fest in Dortmund, which is currently happening.
Why are there new raid bosses? The GO Fest in Dortmund is currently in full swing, and at the same time a worldwide event with special spawns is also taking place. Some spawns from the GO Fest can now be found in raids as well. Among them are some rare shinies.
Moreover, some Pokémon from the last raid bosses are still available. So there are still good counters against Groudon available.
The Raid Bosses for the GO Fest in Dortmund
| Raid Level | Pokémon |
| Level 1 Raid (red egg) | Magnemite Shinx Lotad Male Nidoran Meditite |
| Level 2 Raid (red egg) | Flunkifer Austos Capilz Kokowei Roselia Barschwa |
| Level 3 Raid (yellow egg) | Tangela Scyther Starmie Machoke Alolan Raichu |
| Level 4 Raid (yellow egg) | Absol Tyranitar Alolan Marowak Lapras Tengulist |
| Level 5 Raid (black egg) | Groudon |
What is new now? There are not many changes brought by the new bosses. So there are only additions of Pokémon that are available at the GO Fest. New additions include:
- Magnemite
- Male Nidoran
- Barschwa
- Scyther
All 4 Pokémon can also be shiny. So you also have chances here to get the coveted shiny Pokémon.
In return, Karpador and Wailmer were removed from the 1-star raids. The level 4 raids have not changed at all.
There was an error here: At the beginning of the new raid bosses, you could encounter Magnezone in the 1-star raids. However, this was just a bug, and the monster was quickly replaced with Magnemite. So you will no longer find it in raids.
Which bosses are good counters? If you are still looking for a good team against Groudon, then focus mainly on Roselia, Capilz and Tangela. They themselves or their evolutions are top counters.
How long will these bosses be available? Presumably, the bosses will change again at the end of the GO Fest. This will end on Sunday, July 7. After that, the old raid bosses will return until July 10.
