Types of Raids in Pokémon GO
Legendary Raids
Legendary raids feature some of the strongest Pokémon in the game, such as Dialga, Giratina, Reshiram, and many others. These raids usually require multiple trainers working together. Our Legendary raid guides explain how many players you need, which Pokémon perform best, and which moves you should watch out for.
Mega Raids
Mega raids allow you to battle Mega-Evolved Pokémon like Mega Gengar, Mega Blaziken, Mega Metagross, and more. These raids are important because they reward Mega Energy, which you can use to Mega Evolve your own Pokémon. Our Mega raid guides show you the best counters and team setups to defeat them quickly and efficiently.
Gigantamax & Special Raids
Some special raids, such as Gigantamax or other unique forms, have special rules and mechanics. These battles often require specific strategies and team choices. Our special raid guides focus on explaining these mechanics in simple terms and helping you choose the right Pokémon for the job.
