Update: Trainers, it seems like the “A Surprise Raid Boss” is Entei. Not sure what they meant by surprise Raid Boss, but this is definitely not what we expected to see.
Original Story: Trainers, the new year 2021 will bring us new events, bonuses, costumed Pokemon, Community Day events, Research Breakthrough encounters, Raid Bosses, and many other interesting features in Pokemon Go.
Niantic and Pokemon have announced that Surprise Pokemon will be appearing in raids beginning on Tuesday, January 26, 2021, at 10 AM local time and now it’s the perfect time to start speculating what this surprise Raid Boss is.
Starting in January 2021, five-star raids will feature Legendary and Mythical Pokémon like Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Groudon, Heatran, Genesect holding a Burn Drive, and a special surprise Pokémon. In Mega Raids, you can look forward to seeing Pokémon like Mega Venusaur, Mega Charizard Y, Mega Blastoise, Mega Houndoom, and Mega Abomasnow, along with another surprise Pokémon that will be making its Pokémon GO debut.
Niantic and Pokemon Go have not revealed many details about the “Surprise Raid Boss,” but we hope to see a new Legendary or Mythical Pokemon in Raids.
Please have in mind that the following is just a tease and a hint, 0% confirmed and 0% a leak!
Our predictions for the “Surprise Raid Boss” on January 26, 2021, are as follows:
Legendary Pokemon
- Zygarde
- Xerneas
- Yveltal
Mythical Pokemon
- Arceus
- Shaymin
- Meloetta
