GO Fest 2020 Day 2 was focused around Rocket battles, and gave us our first opportunity to catch the Shadow version of Mewtwo. GO Fest 2021 Day 2 has kept the Legendary theme but gone one step further, and released all previous T5 raid bosses, giving you the opportunity to fill the gaps in your collection and search for those Shiny and 100% Pokémon. This guide will help steer you through the Sinnoh bosses, and it’s worth noting that Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf are only available in their originally released regions, which are noted on their raid guides below.
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 Sinnoh region of the games. This includes Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Dialga, Palkia, Heatran, Regigigas, Giratina and Cresselia. 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 Sinnoh raid bonuses for Pokémon GO Fest 2021, including their best counters.
