- This is the most challenging raid level, and it is only recommended for players who have more powerful creatures and better equipment. The symbol of a black egg above the gyms represents raids at this level. At this level, bosses change every month, bringing with them a variety of rare and unusual Pokémon.
- Dialga – Legendary Steel and Dragon-type Pokemon.
Mega Raids
- This level of raids is only for Pokémon with Mega Evolutions, and you can earn Mega Energy by defeating the Pokémon you’re up against. The more Mega Energy you get, the faster you finish the raid. These raids are represented by a brown egg, and you can’t catch Mega Evolution Pokémon in them, but you can catch their regular counterparts.
