In Pokémon GO, the raid bosses in various arenas have rotated. We show you who you are fighting against now.
After the Kanto event in Pokémon GO has now ended, the arena bosses in Pokémon GO have rotated. You now face new fighters across various difficulty levels. At level 1, Traumato is now included. In level 4, the popular Despotar makes its comeback.
In the following overview, we show you which bosses are now active in Pokémon GO starting from October 1st.
New Raid Bosses in Pokémon GO – October
In the coming days, well-known faces await you in the raids of Pokémon GO.
Who is new, who is gone? Absol has returned to level 4 raids. The two Alola monsters Raichu and Knogga can now also be found again as raid bosses. Fans have to say goodbye to Machomei, which won’t appear as a raid boss in Pokémon GO for now.
Why these Pokémon in particular? With Psychic Pokémon like Meditie, Kirlia, or Lahmus, Niantic apparently wants to facilitate progress for the Celebi quests in Pokémon GO. Part of the Celebi quests requires you to catch 40 Pokémon of the Grass or Psychic type.
