The species of Mega Evolution is randomly selected from all existing Mega Evolutions that can spawn in the spawn location, noting that these spawn locations may differ from regular pokemon of that species (a full list can be found here).
There are two different types of boss Pokémon, each spawning in different ways:Ī Mega Evolved boss Pokémon will attempt to spawn once every 10000 ticks (8.33 minutes), with a 30% chance of success (with default config settings). The moveset of a wild boss Pokémon may change with each battle (if a player escapes from or is defeated by the boss Pokémon) however, its growth, nature, ability, and IVs will not change between encounters. However, if the player's highest-level Pokémon is level 60, the same rare boss Pokémon will instead be level 80. The following table displays the level advantage that each type of boss Pokémon will have over the player's highest-level Pokémon.įor example, if the player's highest-level Pokémon is level 90, a rare (blue label) boss Pokémon will be level 110 (Boss pokemon are able to exceed the normal maximum level). This text indicates the level advantage compared to the player's highest-level Pokémon that the boss Pokémon will be. Instead, their levels are scaled based on the highest-level Pokémon in the player's party when the boss Pokémon is engaged in battle.īoss Pokémon have colored text that shows above them, which lacks a level and can be seen from farther away than the overhead text above normal Pokémon. Boss Pokémon do not display levels above their heads, unlike normal Pokémon.
