PoGO – Pokémon GO: Current boss list for Viridium release (with Lichtel in Tier 1)

Viridium has taken its place in the TIer 5 Raids of Pokémon GO. Fittingly, you’ll find some good Pokémon in the other tier levels to send the legendary grass-fighting Pokémon to the boards. In this guide we show you the current boss list.

As of today, Terrakium has gone bye-bye for now and we can fight the Grass Battle Pokémon Viridium in Tier 5 Raids. This Wednesday (Dec. 18), you’ll have a chance to catch several Viridium right away during the legendary raid hour from 6 to 7 p.m. As a Grass Battle Pokémon, it is doubly vulnerable to flying attacks. Fittingly, a few good flying Pokémon will be made available to you in the Tier 1 through Tier 4 Raids. The highlight of the current boss list is in the Tier 1 Raids.

Tier 1

Lichtel

Trasla *

Sheinux *

Floink

Dusselgurr

Klikk *

Lichtel or his second evolution is an excellent spirit and fire attacker, which will surely get a community day. So you can already get Lichtel with good stats via Tier-1-Raids. If you are still looking for a good Trasla, you will get another chance to catch a good Fairy attacker. Not to be despised is Dusselgurr. Its second evolution does a lot of damage against Viridium with its flying attacks – ideal for players who don’t have top counters like Lavados with its Legacy Attack or Rayquazas with flying attacks.

Tier 2

Glutexo

Ibitak

ALoLa Kokowei *

Swallow Boss

Flunkifer *

None of the Tier 2 mon are really meta-relevant. Ibitak is also a flying Pokémon, but its stats aren’t a hoot.

Tier 3

Tauboss

ALoLa Raichu *

Sichlor *

Flamara

Mantax

Panzaeron *

Panzaeron does well in Super League, otherwise with Sichlor you have a chance to catch a very good bug attacker (advancement Scherox). Flamara is a nice fire attacker for players who don’t have Community Day Lohgocks or other good fire attackers. For Tauboss the same is true as for Ibitak, although probably everyone should have at least one good Tauboss or Taubsi with enough candies.

Tier 4

ALoLa Knogga

Galar Smogmog

Dragoran

Togetic

Staraptor

Staraptor is another good counter in the fight against Viridium. Dragoran is a good tank in the fight against Team Rocket bullies.

Tier 5

Viridium (until January 7, 2020)

Ex-Raid

Regigigas (until January 7, 2020)

Pokémon GO

Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game series for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.

Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights

Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Team Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.

Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.

Pokémon Go Updates, News, Raids and More

The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from Pokemon.gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
