Trainers,
As we are all aware that Battle Showdown has begun worldwide and in addition to that Raids are also changing, the bosses that are encountered within each of the Raid Levels have changed, adding new Raid Bosses and removing the old ones.
Raid Bosses’ shakeups are always interesting as they have proven to be another way for Niantic to introduce new Shiny sprites into the game, so we certainly hope for some Shiny news!
Tier 1 Raid Bosses are not affected, Tier 2 and 3 have got some Fighting Type additions
