The great raid week in Pokémon GO is coming! Numerous raid bosses are waiting for you. But which boss is really worth it?
These are the bosses: On Tuesday, May 21 at 10 PM, the Raid Week in Pokémon GO starts. New raid bosses will come to the arenas and challenge you.
Many bosses are also very useful for you. We provide you with an overview of the best raid bosses.
These raid bosses are especially worth it at the event
The possible Shinies: In the event, there are numerous Shinies from raids. These raids are always worth it, as the shiny version of Pokémon is very rare.
The following bosses can also be found as Shiny:
- Machollo
- Sheinux
- Bronzel
- Flunkifer
- Traunfugil
- Perlu
- Barschwa
- Aerodactyl
- Alola-Raichu
- Sichlor
- Absol
- Alola-Knogga
- Lapras (only for the Lapras Day on May 25)
Bummelz: Some players hope that Bummelz will be announced as the next Community Day. So it wouldn’t be bad to secure a good Bummelz from the raid, so that it can be developed into Letarking with a special attack on the possible Community Day.
Chaneira: Both Chaneira and its evolution Heiteira are among the best defenders in the game. So if you enjoy battling in arenas and want to defend them, you should get a good Chaneira.
Additionally, Chaneira is very rare outside of raids. Here you have the chance for some candies and for a Chaneira with good IV.
Despotar: It’s always worth battling a Despotar! This Pokémon is one of the best attackers of Rock and Dark type and is useful in various raids.
Even if you already have numerous Despotar at maximum level, another one never hurts. Therefore, two 6-member teams of Despotar are quite worth it. One with Rock attacks and the other with Dark attacks.
Dragoran: Anyone who has been playing since day one knows the significance of Dragoran. It’s not only a strong Pokémon, but also a favorite among players.
It’s among the best dragon attackers in the game, so it only makes sense to have several specimens at maximum level.
Vesprit: This raid isn’t worth it because Vesprit doesn’t play a significant role in the meta. On the contrary: Vesprit is quite useless.
What speaks for a 5-star raid are the bonuses during the event. Thus, there are double XP for completing raids. For a legendary raid with a lucky egg, that would be 40,000 experience points.
What will your highlight be during the raid week?
