PoGO – Pokémon GO: The current boss list for the Genesect event

On the occasion of the Genesect event, you will encounter a lot of beetle Pokémon in the Pokémon Go raids. We show you which pocket monsters are in the Tier 1 to Tier 4 Raids and which ones are currently available in the iridescent variant.

Even if most of them are forced to stay at home these days, or rather choose to do so, raiding in Pokémmon Go still goes on as usual. However, the enti developers have already taken some measures through which you can, for example, get Raid Pokémon even with luck from the Go Battle League. If you haven’t done so yet, you should also get the smoke gift (30 smoke for one PokéCoin) in the store. The way smoke works and the spawns of Pokémon have been increased once again.

In keeping with the Genesect event currently underway, you’ll find plenty of bug Pokémon in Pokémon Go’s Tier 1 through Tier 4 Raids. Pokémon marked with “*” can also appear in the iridescent form if you are lucky.

Tier 1

Raupy*

Waumpel*

Clink*

Toxiped

Waddock

Tier 2

Omot

Yanma*

Tanza*

Flunkifer*

With Yanma or its evolution Yanmega, you get a decent counter against Psycho Pokémon.

Tier 3

ALoLa Raichu *

Sichlor*

Pinsir*

Panzaeron*

Bronzong

Scherox (continuation of Sichlor) and Pinsir are two more good counters against Psycho Pokémon and also available as a possible Shiny.

Tier 4

Bibor

ALoLa Knogga*

Metagross

Stalobor

Metagross is only interesting with his Legacy attack Star Slash, which you won’t get via the current raids. However, with the new Elite TMs, it should be possible to learn Legacy attacks and make Metagross by far the best steel attacker. Bibor is nothing to scoff at either. While the Wasp Pokémon doesn’t currently play a role in the metagame, depending on how Mega evolutions work later on, Bibor could become very useful.

Tier 5

Kobalium

Voltolos

Both will be replaced by Demeteros starting March 31, 2020 at 1pm PDT.

Ex-Raid

Interrupted until further notice due to Covid 19

Genesect takes the place of Regigigas from April

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.
