In Pokémon GO there are more EX Raid Gyms! This also means that the chance for an EX Raid is now noticeably increasing. We will tell you what it’s all about.
What are these new Gyms? The new EX Raid Gyms are all Gyms that have only recently been added to the game. For the first time, there have been EX Raid invitations for these Gyms.
That’s good because some places have now received their first EX Raid Gym. They can finally rely on the special raids in their own town and do not have to migrate to other locations.
EX Raids in Pokémon GO – What’s new?
Why are there new EX Raid Gyms now? This is an update that happens regularly. Also, new EX Raid Gyms were added a few months ago. The possible EX Raid Gyms have simply been updated.
But these are only new Gyms that fit the pattern of EX Raid Gyms. For example, they must be located in parks. Gyms that are situated alongside streets do not trigger EX Raids.
What does it mean for players? You should try to trigger an EX Raid at the new Gyms within parks. This should now be possible. Pay attention to the symbol in the upper corner of the Gym. If it says “EX Raid Gym”, it should be able to trigger such a raid.
In order to trigger an EX Raid, you need to host multiple raids at this Gym. Only when enough players have raided at this Gym will an EX Raid be triggered.
Why are EX Raids important? These raids currently feature the different forms of Deoxys. Currently, you can get the defense form of the monster from them.
Deoxys cannot be obtained by any other means. You also cannot trade it. So if you want a complete Pokédex, you should participate in an EX Raid.
Will the EX Raid Boss change soon? A last form of Deoxys is still missing. This is expected to be found in the EX Raids soon, as the defense form has already been available for numerous weeks. After that, once the last form is over, a new EX Raid Boss will likely appear.
In the regular raid you will soon find Cresselia. We will show you the best counters:
