In Pokémon GO there have been special Elite Raids for some time, in which you could secure Hoopa. Now a new mysterious monster has been discovered in the game, which leads trainers to hope for a new raid boss. We at MeinMMO will show you which Pokémon it is.

Which raids are we talking about? Since October 2022, Niantic has been regularly hosting special Elite Raids (translated Top-Raids). These can only be played on-site and are harder than all other raids in the game.

However, you will be rewarded with a mysterious Pokémon. In recent months, you could encounter the Mischief Pokémon Hoopa (Unbound). However, some trainers have been hoping for a change of the raid boss for a while now.

With a bit of luck, it could happen soon, as the PokeMiners have found new monsters in the game code. We have summarized what Pokémon you might look forward to in the game below.

Who are the PokeMiners?
The PokeMiners are a group of data miners who regularly search the game code of Pokémon GO to find new information about the game. In the past, they have reliably predicted new Pokémon and features.

However, since the data is not official information, Niantic can change it at any time or decide against its publication.

These 4 new Pokémon have been found

What has been discovered? As the PokeMiners report on their Twitter channel, they came across the graphics of four new monsters and their Shinies in their last search in the game code of Pokémon GO. One of them shows the Mega Evolution of Salamence (bottom left), which will debut in the game as part of the “Shimmering Fantasy” event.

In the other graphics, you can see the Bug and Fairy Pokémon Wommel and its evolution Bandelby (top), as well as the mysterious Pokémon Volcanion (bottom right), which belongs to the types Fire and Water.

Trainers express suspicions about the release

These are the reactions to Volcanion: The community is excited about the findings. Especially Volcanion gives some players hope that it could come to the Elite Raids soon, providing them with a new challenge. However, a release as part of a research task would also be conceivable for many. You can read the following on reddit:

  • Belt_Pretend: “Volcanion is my favorite mysterious Pokémon! I’m really eager for its release!”
  • YutoMaikeru: “Volcanion in Elite Raids?”
  • sijam24: “That will be locked behind a $19.99 ticket”
  • KuriboShoeMario: “Elite Raids are how they reintroduce things that they first sell a ticket for (Hoopa is an exception to this theory). I bet the Elite Raid will change to Zarude next season. They could do the same for Keldeo. Volcanion will likely come through a ticket unless it’s the focus of next season, and then we’ll probably see it in Elite Raids over time.”

By the way: The new raids are also frequently criticized by players. What the reasons are, you can read in the following article:

These are the reactions to Wommel: And Wommel also has some fans among trainers, who are already expressing ideas about when a possible release could occur. Some speculate a debut during a Community Day, similar to what happened last year with Velursi (via reddit.com):

  • feelthefebreze: “Wommel Community Day? That would be similar to what they did last year for Velursi.”
  • maninthewoodsdude: “I want a Wommel Community Day!!!”
  • pyrospartan5: “Wommel for the Community Day is possible, but I think it could be for Valentine’s Day.”

But a release on Valentine’s Day is also conceivable for some. This would certainly speak for Wommel’s type, as Niantic likes to resort to spawns of Fairy Pokémon on Valentine’s Day. However, whether and when the discovered monsters will actually come to the game remains to be seen.
