The Pokemon GO Fest: Global event has a new selection of Raid bosses to battle – and players will certainly want to catch ’em all!
Every Raid boss during GO Fest Global is a rare or exciting Pokemon and includes costumed variants for the iconic Pikachu and Snorlax, Primal Pokemon, and the brand-new additions Carbink and Mega Rayquaza!
The following Pokemon will be Raid bosses during the 2023 Pokemon GO Fest Global:
- Quartz Crown Pikachu
- Pyrite Crown Pikachu
- Malachite Crown Pikachu
- Aquamarine Crown Pikachu
- Goomy
- Carbink
- Cowboy Hat Snorlax
- Primal Kyogre
- Primal Groudon
- Mega Rayquaza
While most of these bosses are in Raids for the whole of the event, Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, and Mega Rayquaza are only available at certain times.
The table below has all of the information you need to know about the Raid difficulties, times, and whether you can get the shiny versions of the bosses.
