Raid Battles are an essential part of the Pokemon Go experience. Each month there’s a new set of Pokemon ranging from common 1-Stars to rare 5-Star Legendaries to battle and potentially catch. Here’s the current line-up of Raid bosses.
When do Raid Hours take place?
Each week, Niantic hosts a special Raid Hour takes place to allow players a better chance at catching the current 5-Star Raid Pokemon. All of the gyms that have Raids in them will be 5-Star, so that’s either Defense Forme Deoxys or Mewtwo in July.
Raid Hour takes place every Wednesday from 6PM to 7PM, and you won’t have to worry about time zones as it will always be your local time. This is the perfect chance to get out there and catch yourself a Legendary.
Below is the list of Pokemon you’ll be able to find in Raids this month:
Mega Raids
- Mega Houndoom (July 1 – July 16)
- Mega Gengar (July 16 – July 23)
- Mega Charizard X (July 23 – August 6)
