In Pokémon GO, there are additional new raid bosses corresponding to the release of Heatran. We provide you with the overview and reveal which bosses are particularly worthwhile.
Why are there new bosses? In Pokémon GO, the legendary Pokémon has changed. Genesect has left the Level 5 raids, making way for the legendary monster Heatran.
Additionally, there are now other bosses that you can ideally use as counters against Heatran. This is rounded off by some shiny checks.
All raid bosses for Heatran
This is the list: Mainly, you will find Pokémon of Ground and Water types here, as they are the best against Heatran. However, there are also other monsters. The Pokémon with a star (*) can also be encountered as shiny:
| Difficulty | Boss |
| Level 1 | Klikk* Sheinux* Sandan* Karpador* Wailmer* Ottaro |
| Level 2 | Kingler Knogga Kapilz Pliprin Flunkifer* Skorgla* |
| Level 3 | Machomei Donphan Lepumentas Aquana Onix* Alolan Raichu* |
| Level 4 | Geowaz Galarian Smogmog Despotar Rizeros Stalobor Alolan Knogga* |
| Level 5 (Legendary) | Heatran* |
Which bosses are worth it? As strong counters against Heatran, Rizeros, Stalobor, and Geowaz are recommended. They or their evolutions are very useful against Heatran.
In general, the best attackers also include Despotar, Machomei, and Kingler. If you don’t have good specimens of them yet, you should complete the raids.
If you enjoy battling in the PvP league, you can count on Alolan Knogga and Alolan Raichu. You can find both in our tier list of the best PvP Pokémon.
How long will the raid bosses stay? Heatran will disappear from the raids on September 10th. By then, these raid bosses will also disappear here.
However, there may also be a replacement before then. Data miners have already found mega raids in the text files. A big change could be coming our way soon.
