A new festivity is here, which means Pokemon GO players have another lineup of Battle Raid bosses to challenge in the coming weeks during the Evolution Event. The recent introduction of a new Legendary, in addition to some exciting lower tier inclusions of some meta-relevant mid-tier creatures, should help make mid-December a very good time to be a PvE raider.
The main attraction in Pokemon GO Battle Raids right now is Terrakion. This Legendary is the most meta-relevant of the Swords of Justice Pokemon and trainers will want to make sure they secure a few strong copies of the Pokemon for future Raids and Gym defense. Players should make sure to review our Terrakion Raid counters guide to prepare the best team for taking down the challenging new boss.
Although Terrakion may get most of the spotlight (and a new weekly Legendary Raid hour event), there are some other exciting options in the current Raid rotation worth noting. Tier 1 is fully stocked with shiny potential, so collectors will likely want to focus on those raids to work on their shiny dex. Raiders will be happy to see another opportunity to collect addition Tyranitars and Excadrills, but those aren't the only Raids worth doing.
