In Pokémon GO there are new raid bosses alongside the legendary raid boss Groudon. Most of these are actually good counters against Groudon.
What are the bosses good for? This time it’s all about good counters against Groudon, as the legendary Pokémon is now available in raids. Additionally, there are numerous possible Shinys.
What highlights are there? There isn’t anything completely new with this raid boss change. A 4-star raid with Tengulist is available, which you can defeat alone.
Furthermore, you can get another chance at a Shiny with Lapras if you missed out on the Lapras Day.
The Raid Bosses for the Groudon Event
| Raid Level | Pokémon |
| Level-1 Raid (red egg) | Wailmer Sheinux Loturzel Karpador |
| Level-2 Raid (red egg) | Flunkifer Austos Kapilz Kokowei Roselia |
| Level-3 Raid (yellow egg) | Tangela Starmie Machomei Alola-Raichu |
| Level-4 Raid (yellow egg) | Absol Despotar Alola-Knogga Lapras Tengulist |
| Level-5 Raid (black egg) | Groudon |
Which raid bosses are good? If you are still looking for good counters against Groudon, you should primarily focus on Roselia, Kapilz, or Tangela. With the right moves, the evolutions of Roselia and Tangela, Roserade and Tangoloss, and Kapilz are strong counters.
A Pokémon that is always worthwhile is of course Despotar. Regardless, Groudon is also a very useful Pokémon.
Which bosses can be Shiny? This list of potential Shinys with these raid bosses is again long. The following Pokémon are also available as Shiny:
- Wailmer
- Karpador
- Loturzel
- Sheinux
- Roselia
- Flunkifer
- Alola-Raichu
- Alola-Knogga
- Absol
- Groudon
How long will the bosses be available? These raid bosses will be active for as long as Groudon is in the raids. The ground Pokémon will disappear on July 10 at 10 PM.
