Pokemon Go: Kanto Raid Boss Guide (July 2021)
This weekend is GO Fest 2021, a two-day celebration centered on capturing on the first day and raiding on the second day. You may still purchase a $4.99 GO Fest ticket, or a geographic version, for the two-day occasion, which includes additional perks. Let’s talk about the Raid bosses discovered in the Kanto region and how you can defeat them!
Kanto Region Raid Bosses
Although each initially introduced raid boss will be present for this occasion throughout the day, this guide will focus on bosses from the Kanto region. Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Mewtwo are among those who fall into this category. Keep in mind that you can only Mega Evolve one Pokémon at a time to assist you with all of these raids. Your Mega Pokémon will have an 8-hour lifespan once it has evolved.

Since March 2021, I've worn two hats at Spiel Times: a writer and a Managing Editor. In my writing role, I've earned recognition from Wikipedia and Nev Schulman (Catfish TV Show host) for my insightful analysis and engaging narrative style. I'm passionate about all things gaming, with a keen eye for detail and a knack for uncovering hidden secrets within games. My gaming journey began at a young age, captivated by titles like Resident Evil and Tomb Raider. Today, I enjoy exploring open-world RPGs and MMORPGs, consumed by their lore and crafting theories about their narratives. I'm also drawn to the suspenseful atmosphere of horror games and the intricate narratives of crime-themed titles, bringing a unique perspective to my writing. Beyond gaming, I have a fascination with anything unexplained and chilling, a passion that often spills over into my exploration of horror games. When I'm not engrossed in a virtual world, you can find me curled up and spending time with my adorable doggy sidekick, Teemo. As Managing Editor, I'm committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for our writing team. I communicate openly with my team members, addressing any content-related issues and providing guidance to help them excel.
