Pokemon Go NEWS: Niantic Raids get HUGE update, as new bosses join the battle

Pokemon Go fans can tackle a new wave of Raid bosses, as Niantic gives the feature a big shake up.

For the first time since the feature launched this summer, Pokemon Go Raid bosses have been completely refreshed.

Tier one Raids now include Ivysaur, Charmeleon, Wartortle and Metapod, while Tier two bosses include the likes of Magneton, Cloyster, Tentacruel and Sandslash.0

Sableye and Marowak also join the roster of Raids, despite featuring heavily in the recent Halloween 2017 event.

Porygon, Snorlax, Golem and Lapras make appearances as higher tier bosses, as well as Ninetales, Scyther and Poliwrath.

The refresh takes place just days after Niantic confirmed plans to change the way Ex Raid Invites work.

Ex Raids are an invitation-only affair, although Niantic is yet to settle on a system.

“Trainers, thank you for your feedback on EX Raid Battles,” reads a recent Niantic tweet. “We’re working to improve the invitation system based on what we heard from you.”

Hopefully Niantic will give fans more advanced notice and extend the invitations to more players.

Niantic has also refreshed the latest round of Legendary Raids, as Raikou, Entei, and Suicune move to new regions.

The aforementioned Pokemon will appear in Legendary Raids until the end of November, but they won’t appear in the same region at the same time.

UK and European players can now capture Raikou, North and South American Trainers can battle Suicune, while Asian fans can pick up Entei.

Where they end up next is anybody’s guess.
