Today, on June 17th, the first raid hour with Zekrom starts in Pokémon GO. We provide you with all the information so that you are well prepared.
What is a raid hour? This event typically takes place every Wednesday evening in Pokémon GO. Legendary raids appear for one hour at almost every gym, and you have a good chance of defeating multiple raid bosses.
Today is the first raid hour with Zekrom. The legendary Pokémon has generally been available in the raids only since last night.
All Information about the Raid Hour this Evening
When does it start? The event starts as usual at 6:00 PM local time. For one hour, legendary raids will be open at almost all gyms.
How to fight effectively against Zekrom? The legendary Pokémon is weak against Dragon, Fairy, Ground, and Ice types. So make sure to use monsters of these types.
In our counter guide to Zekrom, you will find all the important information about the raid boss and the 10 best counter Pokémon.
How many players should you have? Zekrom can already be defeated quite easily in a trio. However, during the raid hour, we recommend a group size of about 6 players. This way, you can get through the raids faster and complete more raids in the hour.
Is the raid hour worth it? Zekrom has only been available in Germany since today, and at least for the Pokédex entry, it is worth participating in the raid hour.
But it’s worth it beyond that as well. Zekrom is the best electric Pokémon in the game and quite useful. So you should definitely invest some raid passes to secure a good specimen and enough candies.
What will happen with the raid hours next? The next 2 weeks will also feature Zekrom in the raid hour. These will again take place on Wednesdays.
What will happen afterwards is still not entirely clear. However, a lot is happening in Pokémon GO until July. This includes 2 events that will take place this month.
