Raiding can be some of the most engaging content in Pokemon GO, especially if you’re taking on Legendary and Mega-Evolved creatures in 6-Star Raids. As with everything in Pokemon GO, 6-Star raid bosses rotate, so you’ll have to act fast if you don’t want to miss out on Genesect or Darkrai next time they veer their heads.

This guide will go over the current 6-Star raid boss rotation in Pokemon GO while also providing a list of viable counters. Even with the best Pokemon on your team, we advise you to group up with ten or more players before taking on these raids.

What Are 6-Star Raids in Pokemon GO?

Mega Latias Latios 6 star raids pokemon go

6-Star raids are relatively new to Pokemon GO, combining two of the game’s hardest challenges into one. While a Mega Evolved Pokemon and a Legendary Pokemon constitute a 5-Star Raid, a Mega-Evolved Legendary Pokemon constitutes a 6-Star Raid.

This means the number of potential 6-Star Raid bosses is limited to Mega Latias, Latios, Rayquaza, Mewtwo X/Y, and potentially Diancie. We have yet to see whether Primal Kyogre and Groudon are 5-Star or 6-Star raids.
