Pokémon GO has new raid bosses. Among them is the legendary Registeel, which is part of the golem trio. But you should pay attention to even more Pokémon when you think about the fourth generation.
Regice is gone, Registeel is here: Registeel will be the new level-5 raid, replacing Regice. Registeel is of the steel type and melts under fire attacks. Effective are also attacks from fighting and ground types. You should challenge Registeel with 5-6 trainers.
How long will Registeel be here? Until August 16. Who will appear in the level-5 raid after that is still unknown.
Raids for the 4th generation: Kirlia, Porygon, Magmar, and Rhyperior
Farm candies for the fourth generation: Among the raid bosses are four Pokémon that have an evolution in the fourth generation. If you don’t have enough candies for these yet, the raids are a great opportunity to get some candies. The fourth generation has already been hinted at.
- Kirlia is a level-2 raid boss. A male (!) Kirlia evolves into Gallade.
- Magmar is a level-2 raid boss. It evolves into Magmortar.
- Porygon is a level-3 raid boss. It evolves into Porygon-Z.
- Rhyperior is a level-4 raid boss. It evolves into Rhydon.
If you want to prepare for the fourth generation, here’s an overview:
New Alolan forms of Raichu and Marowak in raids
There are two new Alolan forms in the raid:
Alolan Marowak is a level-4 raid boss. It is of the ghost/fire type and should not be taken lightly as a boss. It has a base defense of 200 and has no double weakness. With a weather boost of fog or sunny, you can expect a maximum catch CP of 1208 at level 25.
Alolan Raichu is a level-3 raid boss. It is of the electric/psychic type and thus has weaknesses against dark, ground, ghost, and bug types. With a weather boost and a level 25 encounter, you can expect a maximum CP of 1447-1531 CP.
By Saturday, you will encounter Zapdos in the raid:
