Pokemon Co. Announced Special Pokemon Go Raid Battle Event in Japan, Giovanni’s Nidoking is the Raid Boss

A new special Pokemon Go Raid Battle event will go live at all Pokemon Center locations in Japan, as announced by the Pokemon Company today. This event will start on February 26 and will last for two weeks, until March 11.
During this special 14-days Raid Battle event, Pokemon Go players will be able to fight Team Rocket Boss Giovanni’s Nidoking. This might sound easy at first, but be careful, this is not the ordinary Nidoking – this time you’ll be facing against “boosted” Raid Boss, who is more powerful and stronger than the normal version.
Players have to work together and defeat Nidoking, and those who are going to defeat and catch the Raid Boss, will be rewarded with a special Pokemon Go Nidoking Sticker.
