The riddle surrounding the new EX Raid boss in September continues. Pokémon GO has now spoken out and confirmed Deoxys as the boss for this weekend.
What is being speculated: The 2nd week of the Ultra Bonus in Pokémon GO is currently running, which allows the mysterious Pokémon Deoxys to appear in all its forms in regular raids.
So far, Deoxys has only been available in EX Raids. It makes sense that there will soon be a successor. However, Niantic has made it clear that at least this weekend, no new EX Raid boss will appear. The Initiative form of Deoxys remains unchanged.
What Niantic says about the EX Raid boss
This statement exists: On Twitter, a player asked what would come next in the EX Raids. Niantic responded and confirmed that it will still be Deoxys for now.
They also mentioned that they currently have no further information to share regarding the upcoming EX Raid boss.
This statement is important: Now there is clarity for the time being. Many trainers have already wondered what will appear as the EX Raid boss this coming weekend. Some had expected a new boss, but that seems to have been dashed for now.
When will the new EX Raid boss arrive? New invitations for EX Raids have also already been sent out. There will be new EX Raids on the 21st and 22nd of September.
In the tweet, Niantic spoke of the upcoming EX Raid, referring to the raids occurring on the weekend of the 14th and 15th of September. Whether there will be a new boss the following week remains to be seen.
This is why many players are puzzled: It surprises many players that Deoxys is simultaneously available in regular raids and EX Raids. When Mewtwo left the EX Raids, there were no EX Raids for a while until Deoxys arrived.
Now it is all the more strange that Niantic is taking a different approach. After all, an EX Raid is no longer something special, as the Pokémon can be obtained at any arena without an invitation.
On Sunday, Community Day is also taking place. We will give you all the information about the event:
