Pokémon GO has new Electric Raid bosses – Which ones are worth it?

The raid bosses of Pokémon GO have changed again today, on March 16, 2021. We will tell you which ones are worth it and which you can safely ignore.

What’s new? Along with the Electric event new raid bosses for levels 1, 3, and the Mega bosses appeared in Pokémon GO on March 16. In level 5, Voltolos can still be found.

We will tell you which new Pokémon have entered the raids and why some of them are worth it.

You can see this here: In the following table, we will initially list all the bosses that you currently find in Pokémon GO. Bosses that we marked with a star (*) can also be caught as Shiny. To see the shimmering form, you have to be lucky after defeating them.

Counters for Voltolos

Voltolos belongs to the Electric and Flying types. It is therefore particularly vulnerable to attackers of the Ice and Rock types.

Its strongest counters are:

PokémonMoveset
RameidonCatapult and Rock Slide
RihorniorCatapult and Rock Throw
Galar-FlampivianIce Fang and Avalanche
MamutelPowder Snow and Avalanche
TerrakiumCatapult and Rock Slide
DespotarCatapult and Stone Edge
SnibunnaIce Fang and Avalanche

Other strong counters can be found in our Counter Guide for Voltolos in Pokémon GO.

Which bosses are worth it?

Which raids you should do now depends mainly on your goals. Overall, however, the selection is weak this time, also because many of the strongest Electric attackers are not present in the raids:

  • Magneton – The evolution Magezone is among the best Electric attackers in the game.
  • Voltolos receives new abilities in its Therian form, as the first players have found out on reddit. This could give it a place on the list of the best Electric attackers.
  • With Voltobal, Alola-Raichu, Ampharos, and Voltenso, there are some Shinys to complete your collection.

In the coming weeks, there will be a lot happening in the game. The developers have already announced that several events will take place. From spotlight hours to new raid bosses to multi-day bonuses. 

All events in March 2021 in Pokémon GO can be found here.
