InPokemon GO, many different Pokemon are featured through the various Raid rotations as events come and pass in the game. These Raids offer not only an opportunity to go up against these powerful Pokemon, but to capture them and add them to your Pokedex and collection.
Following the capture of Raid Pokemon, many Trainers will then go on to use these new additions in other PvE or PvP battles, so ensuring they can operate with the most efficiency is crucial.
