A change of the raid bosses in Pokémon GO has occurred again. These are the new opponents now awaiting you in the arenas.
After new bosses were already found in Pokémon GO on November 28, now, a day later, new raid bosses are back in the game. Apparently, Niantic initially chose the wrong Pokémon and has now corrected this mistake with a new rotation.
The new raid bosses from November 29
The last raid bosses featured a rock theme and players assumed that Niantic might have activated these for the Meltan quests. But that was apparently not planned.
In the various tier levels of the arenas in Pokémon GO, you now find the following opponents. Opponents marked with an asterisk may appear in shiny form.
- The raid bosses at level 1 / Tier 1
- Shuppet*
- Zwirrlicht*
- Schneppke*
- Sheinux*
- Driftlon*
- Bamelin
- The raid bosses at level 2 / Tier 2
- Flunkifer*
- Zobiris*
- Sniebel
- Traunfugil
- The raid bosses at level 3 / Tier 3
- Machomei
- Gengar
- Sichlor
- Pinsir*
- Tohaido
- Alola-Raichu*
- The raid bosses at level 4 / Tier 4
- Absol*
- Despotar
- Hundemon
- Alola-Knogga*
- The raid boss at level 5 / Tier 5
- EX Raids
How long will the new bosses stay in the game now? This is still unclear. After so many rotations occurred in such a short time, Niantic might already be planning the next switch.
How the community reacts to the new changes
On Reddit, players were surprised that there are new bosses again so soon after the last switch.
Trainer Misman23 comments: “Ghosts, bugs, and dark types. These were the planned counter raid bosses for Cresselia. Someone must have made a mistake and activated the Regice counters yesterday.”
This has led to criticism since Niantic specifically announced in the game that certain bosses are now present. Trainer StaticMaine writes: “I JUST received the notification that I should look out for fossils. Now they are gone again? Not even 2 hours after the notification?”
User Progressive_Caveman seems to be disappointed by the announcement: “Why make a notification for Ammonite and Kabuto if you just remove these raids hours later?”
How do you like the new raid bosses? Would you rather have kept the rock-themed ones?
