Raid Bosses appearing in Pokemon Go Fest 2022

Pokemon Go Fest 2022 has arrived with a special Raid schedule, so we’ve got details of all the Raid Bosses and Legendaries you can battle right here.

The biggest Pokemon Go event of the year, Go Fest 2022, is here! As well as Special Research stories, new Shiny debuts, and the Global Challenge Arena, there’s a unique lineup of Raid Bosses to battle and catch.

Unlike last year’s event, where every Legendary in Pokemon Go returned to Raid Battles, this year will feature just two Legendary Pokemon in Raids – but there will be a totally new species making its debut.

Below, you can find the Raid Boss schedule for both Day 1 (Saturday) and Day 2 (Sunday), as well as details of their weaknesses to help you defeat them.

What is the new 5-Star Raid Boss in Pokemon Go Fest 2022?

Niantic have now confirmed that the identity of the new 5-Star Raid Boss appearing on Day 2 of Pokemon Go Fest 2022 is none other than Nihilego, one of the powerful Ultra Beasts from the Alola region!

We’ve got a Nihilego Raid guide with details of its weaknesses as well as recommendations for the best counters to take into battle to help you defeat it.

While Nihilego is categorized as an Ultra Beast in Pokemon Go, it functions similarly to other Legendaries, so you’ll have to beat it in a 5-Star Raid Battle at a Gym before you’ll get a chance to capture it.


While you’re here, check out our Day 1 and Day 2 guides, as well as details on all of the new Shinies, to help you get the most out of Pokemon Go Fest 2022.
