The new raid bosses in Pokémon GO have been announced. You can now find Dratini, Lapras, and others at the Kanto event in the gyms. We will show you which monsters can be found at the different difficulty levels.
As announced by Niantic, many Pokémon from the Kanto region are now roaming the wild and in raids of Pokémon GO. This resulted in some bosses being replaced by new bosses. At level 1, we now see the starters Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander, as well as the rare Pokémon Dratini.
In this overview, we show you which raid bosses are currently active in Pokémon GO.
