Pokemon GO Raid: Here's the complete list of Raid Bosses and how you can defeat them

Nintendo recently released a new update to Pokemon GO introducing a bunch of new features including the ability to hunt Pokemon with higher combat power. Here's all you need to know about the Raid Bosses and how you can defeat them

Nintendo’s superhit augmented reality game Pokemon GO recently received a raid update, wherein the makers of the game introduced a bunch of new features including the ability to hunt Pokemon with higher combat power (CP). The new update also allowed the trainers to participate in raid battles in Pokemon Gyms and take on the powerful Raid Bosses.

The Raid Battles are not live for everyone and you can hunt down some of the most powerful Pokemon only if you are a level 5 trainer or above. For those of you who are still unsure, Raid Battles are Pokemon battles wherein trainers team up with other trainers to defeat Raid Bosses (Pokemon with highest CP).

How does a Raid Battle happen?
Here’s a step by step guide to what will happen during a raid battle:

Step1: When a raid is about to happen, a large Egg will appear at the gym with a countdown.

Step 2: A Raid Boss will be revealed when the countdown reaches zero.

Step 3: Every time you visit a Gym, you will get a Raid Pass, which you will need to battle a Raid Boss.

Step 4: You can team up with up to 20 trainers to defeat a Raid Boss.

Step 5: If you defeat the Raid Boss in 3 minutes, you will have the chance to capture that Pokemon. You will also get special rewards like– Golden Razz Berries, Rare Candies and Fast Technical Machines and Charged Technical Machines.

How will the Raid Bosses be unveiled?
Raid Battles will happen on the basis of Raid Bosses. While the trainers will encounter Pokemon with lower combat power first, they will encounter tougher Pokemon as they cross each level. Raid Bosses have been colour coded into three colours with a total of five levels.

Here are the details of all the Pokemon Bosses that the trainers will encounter during the raids:
