In Pokémon GO there are new raid bosses again. Now you can find various ghost-type Pokémon and the costumed starters in raids. We will tell you which ones are worth it.
Why are there new bosses? The Halloween event is here and brings various bonuses related to ghost and dark-type Pokémon. A highlight is also the introduction of Darkrai in raids.
In line with Darkrai, there are now many more spooky Pokémon in raids. Some of them are also strong counters against the mysterious raid boss.
The new raid bosses for the Halloween event 2019
| Raid Level | Pokémon |
| Level-1-Raid (red egg) | Bisasam with costume* Schiggy with costume* Glumanda with costume* Driftlon* Traunfugil* Klikk* |
| Level-2-Raid (red egg) | Flunkifer* Makabaja* Zobiris* Sniebel* |
| Level-3-Raid (yellow egg) | Gengar Granbull Tohaido Skuntank Alolan Raichu* |
| Level-4-Raid (yellow egg) | Absol* Despotar Alolan Knogga* Nachtara |
| Level-5-Raid (black egg) | Darkrai |
How good are the bosses this time? In terms of usability, Sniebel, Gengar, and Despotar are particularly worth it. They or their evolutions are all good against psychic-type Pokémon, which you often find in raids.
However, the bosses are primarily a paradise for shiny hunters. A large portion of the bosses can be shiny, so you can try your luck here. All Pokémon marked with a star in the list above can be shiny.
These raids you should definitely do: The 3 starter Pokémon Bisasam, Glumanda, and Schiggy are only available with costumes in raids. They can also be shiny and are likely to be sought-after collectibles. Therefore, it is worth investing in one or another raid pass here.
In addition to the 3 strong Pokémon in battles, you should also focus on the 3 starter Pokémon. One should not forget Darkrai. It is the best dark-type Pokémon in the game. You should definitely use raid passes for this.
How long are the bosses available? The next raid boss change will probably take place after the Halloween event. This ends on November 1 at 10 PM.
After that, the 3 Regis will return to raids and will surely bring new bosses.
