Pokémon GO: ALL raid bosses in October 2024

Every month, Pokémon GO refreshes its roster of raid bosses as part of its ongoing temporary events. These raids can be accessed using raid passes and come in various levels, including level 1, 3, 5, and Mega raids. Players can team up with friends to take down these powerful Pokémon and add them to their collection or Pokédex.

In this article, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of all the raid bosses available in October 2024, categorized by their respective levels, including special encounters with Dynamax Pokémon.

This is the easiest level for raids, featuring Pokémon that are relatively simple to defeat. Raids at this level are indicated by a pink egg atop gyms.

Available Pokémon in this level include:

• Vulpix (Alolan variant)
• Bergmite
• Sandslash (Alolan variant)

Dynamax Battles

Starting this month, Pokémon GO introduces ‘Max Battles,’ which are tied to the Dynamax phenomenon. Players will discover energy sources around the world, resembling raids, where they can encounter and capture the following Dynamax Pokémon:

• Dynamax Bulbasaur (shiny)
• Dynamax Charmander (shiny)
• Dynamax Squirtle (shiny)
• Dynamax Skwovet (shiny)
• Dynamax Wooloo (shiny)

This selection of Dynamax Pokémon will be available until the end of the month, after which the list may rotate to include new options.

Mega Raids

Mega Raids are reserved for Pokémon that can undergo Mega Evolutions. In these raids, players can earn Mega Energy specific to the Pokémon they are battling. The quicker the raid is completed, the more Mega Energy players can earn. These raids are indicated by a brown egg, and while players can’t capture the Mega Pokémon itself, they can catch its regular form.

Available Pokémon in Mega Raids include:

• Mega-Salamence (shiny)
• Mega Absol (shiny)
• Mega Houndoom (shiny)
• Mega Gardevoir (shiny)

As always, the raid bosses will change frequently, so keep an eye on the events to maximize your chances of capturing these powerful Pokémon!
