Bosses

A boss is a wild Pokémon that spawned wrong on purpose. It is bigger than it should be, it glows, and it is levelled far above anything else around it.

They announce themselves. A Pokémon with a coloured outline and particles coming off it is a boss, and its name says so.

The five tiers

The colour of the glow tells you the tier, and the tier is also why one boss is twice the size of another.

Each step up is a higher level, a larger Pokémon and a better reward. A mythic boss is not a common boss with more health.

Fighting one

Battle it like any wild Pokémon. Bosses are levelled well past normal spawns, so bring something that can survive a hit rather than whatever is first in your party.

Beating one pays out from that boss's reward table.
