The Team Rocket event in Pokémon GO has started and brings new raid bosses associated with the villains. We will show you which bosses are worth it.
Why are there new bosses? The Rocket event, which started last night, promised new raid bosses. After some initial problems, the new bosses have now appeared.
These include mainly bosses that fit Team Rocket or their leader Giovanni.
Overview of all raid bosses in the “Team Rocket” event
| Raid Level | Pokémon |
| Level 1 Raid (red egg) | Smogon* Rettan* Mauzi* Tragosso* Zubat* |
| Level 2 Raid (red egg) | Austos Magneton Sleimok Kingler Sandamer |
| Level 3 Raid (yellow egg) | Onix* Machomei Snobilikat Alola Raichu* |
| Level 4 Raid (yellow egg) | Absol* Alola Knogga* Nidoking Geowaz Rizeros |
| Level 5 Raid (black egg) | Kobalium |
All bosses with a star (*) can also appear as Shiny.
Which bosses are worth it? There are only a few really strong bosses among them. For example, Machomei still has a strong counter against Kobalium in the Level 3 raids.
Two other good bosses are Kingler and Magneton. Kingler is the water attacker that deals the most damage. Magnezone, the evolution of Magneton, is one of the best electric attackers.
If you enjoy shiny hunting, you should mainly focus on Zubat in the Level 1 raids. This is still one of the rarest Shinies in the game. Mauzi is also brand new, so those looking to increase their chances for a Shiny can invest a pass here as well.
How long are the bosses here now? Niantic announced that these bosses will be available until the end of the event. The event ends on November 14 at 10:00 PM German time. After that, there will be the old bosses from November again.
It looks like you can now complete a special research with Giovanni every month:
