On Reddit, trainers eagerly awaited the new raid bosses and gradually compiled them. After an initial mistake in which the wrong raid bosses were distributed, the correct Pokémon are now in the arenas.

What do the raid bosses revolve around? As usual, a large part of the raid bosses are good counters for the level 5 raid. The current legendary boss Palkia now faces competition from many fairy Pokémon and also some dragons. Additionally, there are also some classics that can also appear as shiny.
