Niantic earlier revealed the December schedule of Pokemon GO, including fresh new events, pocket monster debuts, Spotlight Hour schedule, and Raid Bosses across various tiers. The schedule changes every month and is reshuffled with each event for players to dip their toes in, battle formidable foes, and have a crack at catching them.
Raid Battles are special opportunities for trainers to square their own party against a featured Pokemon in a Gym for a short period of time.
Pokemon GO players can band up with other trainers (in the vicinity or through Remote Raid Passes from around the world) to mount an attempt to take down the beast. A successful Raid affords players an opportunity to catch the defeated Pokemon.
So, who will the players meet in Raids in Pokemon GO in December 2022?
