Kyogre's time in the spotlight has once again wrapped up and that means it's time for a different Legendary Pokemon to become the focus of Pokemon GO Battle Raids. As the summer stretches on, Battle Raids continue to be a popular activity in the mobile AR experience and players now have another chance to throw down against Groudon.
Late June and early July have a decent amount of high value Battle Raid options, so players should have lots to do in the game, even if they've already collected Groudon or plan to get it through the upcoming Research Breakthrough rotation. Pokemon GO is currently rotating through Legendaries fairly quickly, so be sure to get out hunting by July 10.
There's a long list of Pokemon that can currently hatch at Gyms for Battle Raids, so we've compiled an updated list for your convenience...
EX Raid
Deoxys (Speed)
Level 5
Groudon
Level 4
Absol
Lapras
Shiftry
Tyranitar
Marowak (Alola)
Level 3
Machamp
Starmie
Tangela
Raichu (Alola)
Level 2
Roselia
Breloom
Mawile
Cloyster
Exeggutor
Level 1
Wailmer
Magikarp
Shinx
Lotad
The awesome thing about this current list, in addition to a few high power metagame Pokemon, is all of the shiny opportunity. All of the level 1 Raids have the chance for a shiny, which will likely make them much more popular than they usually are.
In addition to the shiny chances, there are just lots of strong PvE and PvP Pokemon up for grabs here. Tyranitar, Machamp, Roselia, and Breloom are the major highlights that we would recommend concentrating on if you're trying to build out your battle roster.
