New Rock Raid bosses have been unlocked in Pokémon GO. You can now battle them during Adventure Week.
Pokémon GO is currently hosting a Rock event, Adventure Week. There are more frequent Rock wild spawns and also new bosses in the arenas. In raid levels 1 to 4, you can expect new opponents like Kabuto and Geowaz. In the coming days, you can upgrade your collection with strong Rock monsters. We will show you which ones are available now.
Raid bosses at the Rock Event in Pokémon GO
New Raid bosses: Shortly after the event started, the community began compiling the new raid bosses. This overview has now emerged, showing the new opponents for Adventure Week. So far, thirteen new bosses have been confirmed. They are marked bold in the overview.
- Tier 1
- Kabuto, Amonitas, Anorith, Liliep, Karpador
- Tier 2
- Magcargo, Nasgnet, Mogelbaum, Flunkifer
- Tier 3
- Pottrott, Sonnfel, and Lunastein (regional), Aerodactyl, Machomei
- Tier 4
- Rizeros, Geowaz, Despotar, Absol, Stolloss
- Tier 5
- Latias and Latios, Ho-Oh

Be careful, Pottrott is a tough opponent! Many trainers attempted to solo it and failed. The monster apparently has too high hit points and too strong defense to be defeated by a single trainer. Trainer Renton85 states that he couldn’t even beat the turtle-like monster with his strongest Kyogre.
However, in pairs, you have a good chance against Pottrott. Take strong attackers like Kyogre, Garados, Despotar, Geowaz, or Dragoran with you.
The Event: The Adventure Week in Pokémon GO revolves around the theme of “Rock”. You will find more Kleinstein, Liliep, Kabuto, and similar monsters in the wild. Additionally, there are special bonuses like multiple XP for spinning a PokéStop or gym photo disk. You should receive ten times the experience points for spinning a photo disk that you have never spun before.
It is assumed that the new raid bosses will remain in the game until the end of Adventure Week. An overview of Adventure Week in Pokémon GO can be found here.
