One cannot say for sure about how something can be perceived. One can only speculate about how he thinks that the observers perceive his piece, opinion, or his art. That is the reason why some of the things that experts say are going to be huge get bulldozed while other things that weren’t getting any recognition before their release to the mainstream get hyped and loved by everyone. One thing is for certain nothing can ever prepare you for success and loss. You can only get better at it by experiencing it.
Pokemon which was a huge success as an animated series and later got adopted by Hollywood and became a live-action movie also has a bigger-than-life gaming fandom. Their game collection consists of more than 60 games which means they know what they are doing in terms of making games. Their most successful game IP is undoubtedly “Pokemon Go” because it has Pokemons feeling more like living and breathing creatures. The game also offers new events now and then to keep the player’s retention rate up. Like Winter Holiday Part 1 and Spotlight Hours in last year’s December.
This year will also be full of these events and festivals but in this blog, we are going to talk about the coming month of February’s raid bosses. As if you don’t already know raid bosses are a key element in Pokemon GO. To keep players coming back Niantic releases a new set of raid bosses which are very different and harder to defeat than the normal bosses these raid bosses range from 1 star to 5 stars. If you manage to defeat one of These raid bosses you’ll get a rare item and a chance of catching that Pokemon. Now that everything is out of the way let’s talk about this February’s scheduled raid bosses and what should you expect moving forward:

Elite Raids:
Finally, the elite raids are back this February after a long long time. This time it is a dual Fairy and Flying-type Pokemon that will take place in it. The Pokemon we are talking about is Enamorus. It was introduced in 2022 on Pokemon Legends Arceus. Now the Pokemon is making its mark on the GO. enamors has powerful stats with unique combinations. She is a fairy Pokemon like Gardevoir and Togetic and flies like Charizard and Articuno. Enamorus is a purely female Pokemon and she is the only force of nature that is a female. While she is a really powerful and rare Pokemon she also has her weaknesses. I will not talk about them here so let’s move on to the next one.
Mega Raids:
We are now in the more common territory and in this February’s raids, we are getting new Pokemon in every quarter of this month. I‘ll list them down with each of the dates that they are going to appear. So first on the list are :
January 31 – February 15
So in the first two weeks of the month, the Latios Mega and Latias Mega will be available on the raids at different times.
February 15 to 22
On the second week of the month, Mega Absol will appear on the mega raids.
February 22 to March 1:
The last week of the month will provide the raid of Garchomp.
The timings of all mega raids, shadow raids, and 5-star raids are different I will list down them somewhere along this blog.
5 Star Raids:
So before I tell all the raid bosses keep in mind that the bosses will be available on different periods until the second week of the month hits the calendar and after that five-star raids will get taken over by the mega raids bosses like mega latias and mega latios. Now that is out of the way let’s talk about the 5-star raids of February.
1. Darkrai
The infamous Darkrai will be appearing on the first raids from 15 February to 20 February.
2. Cresselia
The second on the list is Cressilia and she will appear from February 20 to 21.
3. Uxie, Mesprit and azelf
Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf will all be on the five-star raids from February 21 to 22. This is the only instance where 3 bosses are appearing on the same date so beware.
4. Heatran
From February 22 to 23 the heatran will be glazing the screens.
5. Giratina (Originn).
Gritania will appear on the raids from 23 to 24 February.
6. Cresslia and Heatran reappearance :
Heatran and Cresslia will re-appear on the 5-star raids from 26 to March 1 again. While the reasoning behind it is unknown it’s better for you if they reappear.
Sinnoh Tour Raids:
So a little backstory before I tell you the raids. So as you might know every month Niantic does an event and in February they are celebrating this global event by making it free for everyone with an optional ticket for the reward of shiny Shaymin. So these raids are correlated to the event. From February 24 to 25 10 am to 6 pm local time, these raids will appear.
- Dialga (origin).
- Palkia (origin).
- Dialga .
- Palkia .
Raid Hours:
While most of the raid hours are between 6 pc to 7 pm local time for some dates there are two or three raids in a day. So here’s the list
| Pokemon (Featured boss) | Date and time |
| Latias (Mega) | January 31, 2024, 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm |
| Latios (Mega) | February 7, 2024, 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm |
| Darkrai | February 19, 2024, 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm |
| Cresselia | February 20, 2024, 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm |

| Heatran | February 22, 2024, 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm |
While there are special from these legendary bosses they are only available during the raid hours but I am not going to list them down here.
Tips To win in raids:
So if you are new to the game then follow these tips to get better at racking up the raids. The first tip is that you only battle with your friend whom you have chemistry with because battling the boss alone will not only make it harder for you to beat it will also make you lose the overall chance to gain that Pokemon.
The second tip is to Identify weaknesses because every boss has one like from this month’s Enamorus her weakness is that she is a dual fairy and because of that she takes extra damage from steel type or electric moves. So Identify the weaknesses and attack according to them.
The third and last tip is to prepare for counters I will again take the example of Enamorus to counter her you could use Mega Diancie ‘s rock throw and rock slide. The point here is that every legendary, elite mega booses has a counter you just need to take upon it and prepare for it.
