Raids are co-op boss battles where you team up with other players to take down powerful Pokemon for rare rewards.
Raids run on two schedules (all times GMT):
A raid spawns every hour on the hour (00:00, 01:00, 02:00, ... 23:00). The boss is randomly selected from the tier pool below.
An additional special raid spawns featuring Legendary, Mega, or Mythical bosses.
