There are new raid bosses in Pokémon GO! For June, a rare shapeshifter named Burmy is waiting for you. You can catch this Pokémon in all 3 forms.
These are the bosses: There are no huge differences compared to the bosses in May, as the Pokémon are still mainly counters against the legendary raid boss. Vesprit last month and Cresselia this month are both Psychic-type. So the counters look the same.
These are the highlights: With the latest wave of Pokémon from Generation 4, Burmy has also entered the game. This is a shapeshifter with different evolutions. You can now encounter all forms in raids.
Additionally, there are numerous Shinys to catch again. Many classics that you have already battled in recent months are also returning in June.
These are the raid bosses for June 2019
| Raid Level | Pokémon |
| Level-1-Raid (red egg) | Burmy (Plant, Sand, and Trash Cloak) Sheinux Driftlon |
| Level-2-Raid (red egg) | Flunkifer Traunfugil Zobiris Sniebel |
| Level-3-Raid (yellow egg) | Gengar Tohaido Machomei Alola Raichu Sichlor Krebutak |
| Level-4-Raid (yellow egg) | Absol Despotar Alola Knogga Hundemon |
| Level-5-Raid (black egg) | Cresselia |
How does the raid with Burmy go? Every form of Burmy can hatch from a 1-star raid. Here in Germany, the Sand form is quite rare, which is why you have good chances to find it in raids.
Note that the evolutions are also special. The female Burmy evolves into Burmadame, but also has three different forms. Each male Burmy evolves into Moterpel. Here there is only one form.
Which Shinys are available? Many of the raid bosses can also be encountered as Shiny variants. Here is a complete list of possible Shinys:
- Driftlon
- Sheinux
- Zobiris
- Traunfugil
- Flunkifer
- Sichlor
- Alola Raichu
- Alola Knogga
- Absol
- Cresselia
Which bosses are worth it? If you want to build a good counter team against Cresselia, you should focus mainly on Despotar and Gengar raids. These Pokémon are among the best counters.
Good alternatives include Sniebel or Sichlor. Their evolutions are also good counters.
How long will the bosses be there? Cresselia will disappear from raids on June 18. Until then, the bosses will still be available. After that, Kyogre will enter the raids and will certainly bring new raid bosses with it.
In the wild, there is currently much to discover. Sleeping Relaxo are everywhere:
