Pokemon Go: List of current Raid Bosses – October 2020

Paul Cotton

Here is the current list of Raid Bosses (October 2020) that can be found in Pokemon Go Raid Battles.

These change on a near monthly basis and consist of an array of different Pokemon. Generally there tends to be one five-star Raid Battle in the pool, with many of the Raid Bosses in one to four-star Raid Battles acting as counters to the featured Legendary Pokemon.

As many Pokemon Go players will already know, the higher up Raid Battles tend to require a team of players as they are difficult to catch. The effort is rewarded though, as you will earn yourself an encounter with the defeated Raid Boss.

If you defeat it while weather boosted, you will also get the chance to catch one with 25% higher CP. So, potentially you can nab yourself a very powerful and useful Pokemon.

Raid Battles are an excellent way to get rare and powerful Pokemon in Pokemon Go…

Raid Battles

To join a Raid Battle you must a use Raid Pass. These come in three forms: Free Raid Pass, Premium Battle Pass and Remote Raid Pass.

The free variant can be used once a day and is obtained by spinning a Gym. Alternatively, you can use a Premium Battle Pass which costs 100 PokeCoins in the Pokemon Go Shop. These will allow you to participate in multiple Raid Battles a day.

The below tables are categorized by Raid difficulty, showing the Pokemon, CP range, what weather will boost their CP, boosted CP range and whether they can be found as a shiny.

Pokemon caught in Raid Battles will also have higher IVs than normal due to their IV floor of 10.
