Pokemon Go Raid Egg Color

Egg Color Boss Tier
Pink 1 or 2
Yellow 3 or  4
Blue 5

If you’ve checked out our Raid Boss list you already know that these raid bosses are classified by a star tier system so you know how difficult the coming battle will be. The egg color ties directly into this system by letting you know which star tier Pokemon is about to emerge.

The higher the star tier the more difficult the raid boss will be. At present raids go up to tier 5, with legendary Pokemon appearing in tier 5 during the time periods in which they’re available (they are only available one at a time). You can check out our Pokemon Go game hub for information on each of the legendary raid boss.
