As part of its monthly events, Pokémon GO updates its list of raid bosses (or raids). These activities, which are available through raid passes and can be level 1, 3, 5, or Mega, allow us to face powerful Pokémon with other players in order to weaken them and later obtain them for our team or Pokédex.
We compiled a list of all known raid bosses that are available in Pokémon Go during the month of October 2021, organized by category.
How to participate in a raid?
A “raid pass” or a “premium raid pass” is required to participate in a raid. A day pass can be obtained by turning the photo disc in the gym or by purchasing a premium pass in the shop, which allows you to use the facility multiple times throughout the day. At any given time, you can only have one pass.

Mega Raids
- This level of raids is only for Pokémon with Mega Evolutions, and you can earn Mega Energy by defeating the Pokémon you’re up against. The more Mega Energy you get, the faster you finish the raid. These raids are represented by a brown egg, and you can’t catch Mega Evolution Pokémon in them, but you can catch their regular counterparts.
