CURRENT POKEMON GO RAID BOSS LIST
Pokémon Go players will first notice the influx of Water-type Pokémon in the latest Raid Boss list. Pokémon like Wailmer have returned while Croconaw makes its introduction to Raid battles. Higher level Water-type Pokémon like Starmie and Sharpedo have also returned.
Some relatively new Pokémon faces like Sandslash, Breloom and Donphan are now included in Raid Battles moving forward.
And, of course, the Legendary Raid is still Heatran along with Deoxys continuing to be the EX Raid Boss. The Steel and Fire-type Pokémon, Heatran will continue to be the Legendary Raid for some time as it was first introduced in the middle of December. But if you haven't had a chance to battle and capture Heatran yet, you'll want to do it sooner rather than later.
Pokémon that were removed from Raid Battles this time around include: Shellder, Snorunt, Sneasel, Alolan Exeggutor, Dewgong, Jynx, Piloswine, Lapras, and Walrein.
