Trainers, the Hoenn event is currently underway in Pokemon GO, bringing back Pokemon first discovered in the Hoenn region into spotlight! In order to help you figure out what’s new, we’ve prepared a quick rundown of the new Hoenn raid bosses, new Hoenn themed Field Research tasks and new 7 KM egg hatches. For an in-depth guide on how to maximize your gains from the event, make sure you check out this article: Hoenn Celebration Event Survival Guide!
Hoenn Event Raid Bosses
| Tier | Raid Bosses |
|---|---|
| Tier 1 | |
| Tier 2 | |
| Tier 3 | |
| Tier 4 | |
| Tier 5 |
Hoenn raid bosses feature exclusively Generation 3 Pokemon which is expected given the nature of this event and there’s actually a lot to raid. Let’s cover all of our bases:
- Tier 1 is essentially shiny hunting at its finest.
- Kirlia, Grovyle, Combusken and Marshtomp can be raided in order to get a high IV Pokemon that will be evolved over the upcoming Community Days. Kirlia is worth double as it has a male and a female evolution branch.
- Metagross is an interesting raid boss, but it can’t learn Meteor Mash, so you’re probably better off spending a raid pass elsewhere
- Groudon and Kyogre and both amazing in their own way, we recommend raiding them extensively. Both can be shiny.
- The rest is hit or miss, wouldn’t spend a raid pass on it
- Possible shiny Pokemon in this raid boss rotation: Wingull, Plusle, Minun, Shuppet, Duskull, Sableye, Mawile, Absol, Groudon, Kyogre
