Pokémon GO
Niantic have implemented one of the changes ahead of the release of Mega Evolved Pokémon. From now, all 2 star Raids are now grouped with 1 star raids and all prior 4 star raids are grouped with 3 Star Raids. They've had their HP and damage adjusted down but rewards for 1 star and 3 star raids now match what were 2 star and 4 star raids respectively. We've updated our Raid Battle page accordingly
