featured in each Pokémon GO event, with some appearing more frequently in the wild, in egg hatches, and in Legendary and Mega Raids. For the month of June 2022, trainers will have a new set of Pokémon to fight in Raid Battles. While most of these Pokémon are not making debut appearances, they will have shiny forms available for players lucky enough to encounter them. If players encounter a shiny Pokémon in a Raid Battle, it is a guaranteed catch, so be sure to use a Pinap Berry to get the most amount of Candies possible.
For those who are new to Pokémon GO, one of the main goals of the game is to catch and battle Pokémon. One method of catching Pokémon is to visit a Pokémon Gym with an ongoing Raid and fight in a Raid Battle. There are several difficulty levels of these Raid Battles, with Mega and Legendary Raids containing tougher and rarer Pokémon.
To prepare for Raids inPokémon GO, trainers should consider how many additional players will be needed to successfully come out of the battle. There are plenty of ways to organize with fellow Pokémon trainers in preparation for these Raids. It is also essential to use the most effective Pokémon in a fight. Players can determine a Pokémon's battle effectiveness by looking at their typing and moves, along with the typing and moveset of the Pokémon they are battling. Players will want to use Pokémon that have super effective moves against their opponent. It is also good practice to try to find Pokémon that have typings that match their attack moves in order to benefit from S.T.A.B. (Same Type Attack Bonus). S.T.A.B. gives a Pokémon's moves a power boost as long as the move and Pokémon have matching typings.
