The new raid bosses are f***ed up. Some of the T2 Raids are stronger then the new T3 Azumarill. Also some really good T2 and T3 raids are gone that we would actually use passes on, like Eggexutor and Zam. Way to go Niantic, adding more shitty raid bosses. At least try to fix the EX raid system instead, or maybe update your maps.

Thanks, Alpha

I just don't get why Azumarill was added. Weak in all situations, even as a Fairy. His ice move sucks because of no STAB and his poor attack. Kabutops or Gardevoir made more sense as T3.

Zoomer's high hp and low cp make it a solid long-term defender, but base hp is useless for a raid boss. I kinda hope they double its base attack to mirror Huge Power.

My Jolteon handles these whenever they're in gyms, so unless someone berries it, there's not much it can do. With golden berries, even a Lickitung can be annoying.

They should have included a small change for its ability (Huge Power: double attack stat) when they converted its base stats. Doubling its base physical attack stat before stat conversion would bring its PoGo base attack up from 112 to 181, and bring its max CP up from 1503 to 2319.

That boost would not be enough to make it competitive, but would allow it to be a fun defender.

They actually removed Alakazam? So now there's only 3 decent T3 raid boss? Nice, well done Niantic.

The previous raid boss selection was too skewed towards Gen I, with Tyranitar the only Gen II raid boss (except for legendaries, of course).

I would love to solo a T3 Houndoom, Donphan or Ampharos.

I think azumarill should be a tier 2 raid but tier 3 raids give out more rewards and this raid boss is real easy(I did one and I could have had my phone turned off and still beat it) so you get a good amount of rewards for beating it.

I actually hope they have basically all Pokémon as a raid boss. And then when there is an egg you don’t know what you will get. Or have event raids where they change every event until the next event. Raids are their biggest money maker, so they need to change it up!

On one side, this sounds like an interesting idea. On the other... weak trash will keep spawning more often than good stuff.
One thing that I'd like would be raid-like encounters in the wild, but with a twist: they could evolve midway on some occasions during the battle. So you find this magikarp boss, you think you got this... and then it turns into a freaking Chinese dragon. Cute fluffy eevee boss? It turns into an eeveeolution and starts to be a threat. Niantic's got the quest thing... could do this with the boss mechanics.
