Raids are a relatively new feature in Pokémon GO. Just like in the MMORPGs that inspired these encounters, raids require teamwork from all nearby players to bring down powerful Pokémon known as Raid Bosses.
Not only do these battles provide exclusive rewards, but they’re also the only present way to get your hands on Legendary Pokémon. But we’ll go into more details about how Raids work in a separate guide.
This one focuses on the Raid Bosses themselves. Below, we’ll provide a list of these, and organise them by tier so you know exactly what you’re about to face when you join a Raid.
