Pokemon GO is a fun mobile version of Pokemon where players can play with each other and work toward being the very best Pokemon Trainer that there is. Ever since it's release back in 2016, the game has been going strong, with players all around the world playing together. After all this time, it is still one of the best mobile games to ever be released, making it an impressive entry into the Pokemon franchise.
Considering it has been eight years since the release of the game, Niantic and the Pokemon Company are working together to create an amazing anniversary event for players. This event will feature new Pokemon, different wild encounters for Pokemon, and even special Pokemon raids, which is extremely exciting for fans of the game. Here's everything players need to know about the raids during the event.

All the Pokemon that will be included in raids specifically for the Pokemon GO 8th Anniversary Event will also be Pokemon that can appear in the wild.

Additionally, all of these Pokemon will be available via one star raids, making them accessible for players of all skill level. Here's a list of all the Pokemon found during the event within raids:
- Bulbasaur wearing a party hat
- Charmander wearing a party hat

- Grimer wearing a party hat
These Pokemon can all be found as Shiny Pokemon within the raids, so players will want to be participating in the raids when they can so they have ample opportunity to obtain these Pokemon in both their normal form and Shiny form.
