Pokemon GO Current Raid Bosses (August 2024)
With the Pokemon GO August roadmap out, players can look forward to some great Raids. Various events are lined up providing solid raid experiences.
Over 10 Pokemon will join the raid experience in Pokemon GO this month. We expect a few unannounced parties to join the Raid Pool later. For now, let’s examine the schedule. Every raid encounter here will last one hour, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM local time.
Mega Raids
Pokemon GO Mega Raids are the hardest out of the bunch, occurring during special events. For this month, you can find the following Pokemon on their dates. Furthermore, one Pokemon raid will seep into September 2024 as its deadline. Here are all the necessary dates.:
- Mega Aerodactyl: August 3 – August 12
- Mega Kangaskhan: August 12 – August 21
- Mega Salamence: August 21 – September 3
So, if you’ve never captured these Pokemon, maybe it is time to run the course in the event.

The Pokemon GO 1-star raid hasn’t been updated yet. Nonetheless, the schedule should be out soon, and we will update you when it is.
Pokemon GO Raid Hour Schedule for August 2024
In Raid Hours, the Pokemon you fight can always have a chance of turning up as shiny. So, if you ever wanted to add a shiny to your Pokemon GO Pokedex, now’s the chance.
For August, every Pokemon mentioned has a higher chance of turning up as shiny. Remember, these randomly appear at a gym every Wednesday from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM local time. Here are the Pokemon:
- August 7: Moltres and its Shiny form
- August 14: Thundurus in its incarnate form, appearing also as a Shiny Pokemon
- August 20 and August 28: Xerneas and its Shiny form
What Is a Pokemon GO Raid?
For the uninitiated, Pokemon raids are big online battles where a strong Pokemon spawns at a gym randomly for an hour with fixed timings. During this time, players nearby can party up and try taking out the Pokemon in question. Successfully defeating them rewards players with the raid Pokemon and additional rewards like XP, Stardust, more Pokeballs, etc.
To take part in a raid, you need a Raid Pass. You’ll generally get these passes by spinning Photo Disc at a gym. Once obtained, use the Raid Pass at an active event to use the item. Furthermore, while you must be physically present at the raid area to perform Raid Battles, a payable Remote Raid Pass allows you to play remotely. It costs 195 PokeCoins per pass.
And that is the entire roadmap for Pokemon GO Raid Bosses in August 2024. Let us know if you will participate in these battles in the comments below.
