Pokemon Go‘s raid bosses have been refreshed for January 2023, including Mega Pokemon, 5-star legendary raids, and more. Aside from taking part in battling against tough leaders like Arlo, Pokemon Go’s main draw is the catching of Pokemon, whereby challenging low to high-tier raid bosses offers players chances to catch the rarest of the rare.
Up for grabs from Niantic’s January schedule are legendaries Zekrom, Reshiram, and Regice, along with a new Mega Pokemon and Alola’s Tapu Koko in its shiny form.
