Is the raid hour still worth it? Kyurem has been in the raids for a month now and there have already been enough raid hours with the Pokémon. So, if you just want the Pokédex entry, you’re probably done.
However, Kyurem also has some advantages. The 2 other forms of Kyurem, Black and White Kyurem, are among the best Pokémon in the game. They are not currently available, but you can already collect Kyurem candies to level up the other forms to max level more quickly later.
Additionally, legendary raids give a lot of XP and that can be useful for players who still want to level up. So, if you still need XP, you shouldn’t miss the raid hour.
