Notes

  • Latios and Latias are in raids just for the weekend.  So get out and catch them while you can, both are potential shinies as well.
  • Medicham is a pvp beast so if you are missing a good one for Great League, raids are a good way to get one.
  • Venipede and Dwebble are very recent releases, so having them in raids will be a good opportunity to get one if you don’t have one yet and to farm candies.
