Last year, Pokémon GO introduced us to GO Fest for the first time. This was a two day ticketed event with different focuses for each day, the first being catching and the second being Team GO Rocket. Back for its second year, GO Fest 2021 has a similar catching theme for day one, but this time around day two is all about raiding. This guide will help you out with all the bosses from the Johto region.
While all previously released raid bosses will be available over the course of the day for this event, this article will cover the bosses originally found in the Johto region of the games. This includes Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Lugia, and Ho-oh. Remember, you can Mega Evolve a Pokémon to help you out with these raids, but only one Pokémon at a time. Once evolved, your Mega Pokémon will last for 8 hours.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Johto raid bosses for Go Fest 2021.
