In Pokémon GO, the return of Giratina also brings new raid bosses. Many trainers find these bosses boring and wish for real variety.
That’s why there’s the change: Mewtwo has left the legendary raids with the end of the Ultra Bonus. Giratina is now here and brings a wave of new bosses in general.
Some Pokémon from the last raid bosses remain available and can now be found in raids again for the umpteenth time. Many trainers criticize this.
The new raid bosses for Giratina in September 2019
| Raid Level | Pokémon |
| Level 1 Raid (red egg) | Shinx Gible Drifloon Electrike |
| Level 2 Raid (red egg) | Flunkifer Alolan Marowak Sableye Drifblim Sneasel |
| Level 3 Raid (yellow egg) | Gengar Granbull Machamp Golbat Alolan Raichu |
| Level 4 Raid (yellow egg) | Absol Togetic Alolan Raticate Houndoom Dragonite |
| Level 5 Raid (black egg) | Giratina (Altered Form) |
Are the bosses worth it? Especially shiny hunters will get their money’s worth here. Electrike can for example appear in a shiny version, but it cannot be caught in the wild. That’s why the raids are so important.
In terms of strength, Gengar, Golbat (evolves into Mamoswine) and Dragonite are particularly interesting. They are all good counters against Giratina. So if you do not have a good fighting team against Giratina yet, you should consider using these Pokémon.
What problem do players see? For many trainers, there is simply too little variety in the raids. Although some Pokémon from the Unova region have now come into the raids, especially the higher-level raids have consisted of the same raid pool for weeks.
As “swanny246” writes on Reddit: “Regardless of the 1-star raids, it’s been the same as before for a while now, hasn’t it? I am for something completely new in the 2- to 4-star raids. Where are all the Gen 4 Pokémon?
How long will the bosses remain? Probably with the end of Giratina, there will also be new raid bosses. The legendary Pokémon will disappear on October 17 and make way for the next raid boss. What Pokémon that will be is still unknown.
There are also news about EX Raids. Mewtwo will be available for only a few weeks:
