NianticPokémon GO may not be holding any global special events right now, but they are making their way around the world for specific events in different locations. Mime, Shiny Pichu and now, different raid bosses. Part of the special Pokémon GO event is that Niantic is rotating in new raid bosses for the first time since launch (outside of Legendaries, of course). While it’s not confirmed that these Pokémon will be migrating outward to be raid bosses around the world, the idea of rotating raid bosses has been around since the start, and it stands to reason Niantic could be testing these Pokémon in Yokohama to see how they fare. I’ve been speculating about future raid bosses for a while now, but only a few of these made my short list.
