With the arrival of Regirock in Pokémon GO, trainers can now find these raid bosses in the arenas. We show you which ones they are.
What are raids? Trainers can participate in raids in Pokémon GO and battle against computer-controlled Pokémon together with other players. These raids come in various difficulty levels from 1 to 5. Level 1 has the easiest opponents, which experienced trainers can defeat alone. In Level 5, legendary opponents appear – it’s best to fight as a trainer group, as going solo is not an option.
New bosses: The opponents you encounter in raids change regularly. There was such a change with the arrival of Regirock and later during the Johto event. We show you who you will fight against.

Raid boss graphics: An overview of the raid bosses can be found on PokémonGOHub. There it is marked with asterisks which raid bosses you can catch as shiny variants in Pokémon GO.
Also interesting for shiny hunters: There was a huge leak regarding shinies in Pokémon GO. Shiny models from over 100 monsters from Gen 1 and Gen 2 were found in the game’s code. In a livestream, the data miner Chrales presented these. We have a big gallery that shows you the shiny images.
