Everyone has a favourite Legendary in Pokémon, and Pokémon GO is doing a pretty good job of getting them all released in the game. Currently ranging from Kanto to Kalos, there’s a chance you might have missed your favourite Legendary when originally released. GO Fest Day 2 is giving you the opportunity to rectify that, with all T5 bosses available during the event to battle and, hopefully, catch. We’ll be looking at the Unova bosses in this guide, which featured in the Black and White versions of the Pokémon games on Nintendo DS.
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 Unova region of the games. This includes Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Tornadus, Thundurus, Reshiram, Zekrom, Landorus and Kyurem. 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 should know about the Pokémon GO Fest 2021 raid bosses in the Unova region, including their best counters.
