Usually if I'm in a raid with Centiskorch as my pokemon, I Gigantamax immediately because Centiferno is useful. If my Appletun is leading, I'll throw Leech Seed out and let the other players Dynamax. Cant use Recover while giant either. It just depends on the situation. My Drednaw is an Assault Vest user, so I just G-max him and call it a day.
There are certain stats you can see after catching a new Pokémon in Pokémon Go, including its CP (combat power), HP (hit points), and weight. But thanks to the new 1.5.0 Pokémon Go update currently rolling out around the globe, you can also find out some not-so-public information about your creature, thanks to your Team Leader!
Jun 30, 2017 Raids are a free new feature to access, but actual access to raids is heavily gated, and in order to enter a raid you’ll need to spend what Pokemon Go refers to as a Raid Pass – a special new.

How the Appraise feature works
When you Appraise a Pokémon, your team's Leader (Blanche, Spark, or Candela, if you're in Mystic, Instinct, or Valor respectively) will take a good look at your creature.
Your Team Leader is looking at three 'secret' stats: Your Pokémon's stamina, defense, and attack. (You may have previously seen these referred to as your creature's IVs.) While your Leader won't go super-technical or give away specific numbers, they'll at least give you a general idea of where your Pokémon stands compared to others.
There are a few different phrases your Leader will use depending on your Pokémon's overall stats. Depending on your team, those phrases will vary further.
Team Mystic
80-100%: 'Your [Pokémon] is a wonder! What a breathtaking Pokémon!'
66-79% 'Overall, your [Pokémon] has certainly caught my attention.'
51-65%: 'Overall, your [Pokémon] is above average.'
50% or lower: 'Overall, your [Pokémon] is not likely to make much headway in battle.'
Team Valor
80-100%: 'Overall, your [Pokémon] simply amazes me! It can accomplish anything!'
66-79%: 'Overall, your [Pokémon] is a strong Pokémon. You should be proud!'
51-65%: 'Overall, your [Pokémon] is a decent Pokémon.'
50% or lower: 'Overall, your [Pokémon] may not be great in battle, but I still like it!'
Team Instinct
80-100%: 'Overall, your [Pokémon looks like it can really battle with the best of them!'
66-79%: 'Overall, your [Pokémon] is really strong!'
51-65%: 'Overall, your [Pokémon is pretty decent!'
50% or lower: 'Overall, your [Pokémon] has room for improvement as far as battling goes.'
If your Pokémon has at least one maxed out attribute — your Stamina (HP), Attack, or Defense is 15, the highest in-game point value — your Leader will also inform you of this, along with whether either of your other two stats match up.
Your Leader will then analyze your overall stat package, telling you one of the following.
Team Mystic
If at least one of your stats is 15: 'Its stats exceed my calculations. It's incredible!'
If at least one of your stats is 13-14: 'I am certainly impressed by its stats, I must say.'
If at least one of your stats is 8-12: 'Its stats are noticeably trending toward the positive.'
If at least one of your stats is 7 or lower: 'Its stats are not out of the norm, in my estimation.'
Team Valor
If at least one of your stats is 15: 'I'm blown away by its stats. WOW!'
If at least one of your stats is 13-14: 'It's got excellent stats! How exciting!'
If at least one of your stats is 8-12: 'Its stats indicate that in battle, it'll get the job done.'
If at least one of your stats is 7 or lower: 'Its stats don't point to greatness in battle.'
Team Instinct
If at least one of your stats is 15: 'Its stats are the best I've ever seen! No doubt about it!'
If at least one of your stats is 13-14: 'Its stats are really strong! Impressive!'
If at least one of your stats is 8-12: 'It's definitely got some good stats. Definitely!'
If at least one of your stats is 7 or lower: 'Its stats are all right, but kinda basic, as far as I can see.'
Finally, if your Pokémon is either gigantic or extra small, your Team Leader may make a quip about their size. (To our current knowledge, this has nothing to do with your Pokémon's success — it's just a nice bit of flavortext.)
Why do I need to use the Appraise feature?
In all honesty, if you aren't super-interested in gym battling, you don't: It's a feature primarily designed to help you figure out which of your Pokémon are worth investing Stardust and Candy into for leveling and evolution. But if you want to make sure that you're spending your 400 Magikarp Candy on the right fish to turn it into a super-powerful Gyrados, it's a huge help — and one that doesn't require you to search through the bowels of the internet for a secret stats calculator.
How to Appraise your Pokémon
Tap on the Pokéball icon in the bottom center of the screen.
Tap on the Pokémon icon in the lower left corner.
Choose the Pokémon you wish to appraise.
Tap on the More button (three horizontal lines).
Tap on Appraise.
Your Team Leader will then give you an overall assessment about your Pokémon. They will tell you its strongest stat, and how the other two stats match up.
You can repeat this for any other Pokémon by following steps 3-6.

Pokémon Go Raid Battles were a new feature added to the game as part of a larger Gym Rework, way back in 2017.
Now availale for the vast majority of players, Raids see players work together to take down powerful Pokémon named Raid Bosses - with exclusive rewards up for grabs - as well as the chance to finally catch those elusive Legendary Pokémon as you go.
What's on this page:
Pokémon Go Raid Hour date and time explained
Each week, there is a weekly Pokémon Go Raid Hour with an increased number of Legendary Raids to complete, allowing you to schedule some dedicated battling time in the diary.
Unless stated, each Pokémon Go Raid Hour date is every Wednesday with a Raid Hour start time of 6pm to 7pm local time.
All Gyms with no active raids or scheduled EX Raids will have an Egg appear just before it begins, which will all hatch into the currently available Legendary Pokémon, and be available for an hour.
The exceptions to this appear to be when there Raid bosses change over on that day - as what we saw with Groudon and Armoured Mewtwo in July 2019 - likely to ensure each region has the same battle when it does occur.
What is the Raid level requirement in Pokémon Go?
Raid Battles are currently available in select Gyms for Trainers over level 5.
At the start of the Gym update the restriction was level 35, so the requirement has dropped significantly since their launch.
What are Raid Battles, Raid Tiers, and how do Raids work?
Raids see trainers team up with other nearby players to take down 'extremely powerful Pokémon' known as Raid Bosses under a time limit. These can have a massive amount of CP, up to 10 times as powerful as regular creatures, requiring a group to stand a chance of winning.
Some Raid encounters will be easier than others. Each one is graded from one to five - one could be a Magikarp, four has you face off against many of the best Pokémon such as Tyranitar and Snorlax, and five takes you up against a Legendary.
Each Raid Boss fits into one of five tiers, one being the easiest and five the most challenging. These five can effectively be slotted into three groups, however, which was distinguished by egg colour.
Tier 1 or 2 - Pink Egg, can be completed alone.
Tier 3 of 4 - Yellow Egg, requires a group of at least 2-4 players, depending on level.
Tier 5 - Legendary, requires a large group of at least 4-8 players, depending on level. Each specific creature is only available for a short amount of time, as listed in our Legendary Pokémon page.
Once you have completed the Raid, you can then catch the creature using Premier Balls. You only have a certain amount, so make every throw count!
Plus, there are invite-only Raids, named EX Raids, which see another type of very exclusive creature spawn. There are a number of hidden mechanics behind joining one, so visit the link to read more about it.
How to win Raids in Pokémon Go
Here is a step-by-step breakdown of how Raid encounters work:
1) When a Raid is about to happen, an Egg will appear at the Gym with a countdown (this has now returned to the game after a period away during the initial wave of Legendaries).
2) After it hatches, the Gym will turn into a Raid, you will have one hour until the Boss disappears. Up to 20 players can form a group, though you can venture in with just a few of you if you like.
3) After spending a Raid Pass (see below) you will wait in a lobby, in which time you can change your team and other players can match make with you. You have to defeat the boss within five minutes. Like regular Gym fights, you can take six creatures in with you. If you aren't successful, you can retreat and use Potions and Revives on your team and try again as many times as you like until the hour is up without spending another pass.
4) If you are successful, you'll receive rewards and a chance to catch the creature using Premier Balls.
5) When the hour is up, all creatures originally assigned will return and the Gym will resume it's prior state.
If you want beat the above, remember that:
Type effectiveness makes a huge difference, so aim to get good counters ready for tough battles. The above table has ideal counters you can use; Machamp, Golem and Gengar appear to be strong choices for a variety of battles. If you need these, then face against them in lower tiers and capture them for yourself!
Though you can solo early tiers, or complete the hardest (non-legendary) tiers with just three players if you're good enough, the more players you have working with you, the better. Don't be afraid to buddy up!
Be smart about whether you dodge or not, and know your own ability to do so, especially in tougher Raids - a great example for this is Golem against Articuno. Articuno does enough damage to normally one-shot a Golem with a Charge Attack, but Golems do some of the highest, if not the highest damage-per-second against them. So if you're capable of consistently predicting and dodging attacks, they're a great choice. But if you're anything less than perfect at it, you'll often be left further behind because of the time it takes to swap out defeated teams, and be left with a less-than-optimal selection to battle with, too.
How to get more Premier Balls in Pokémon Go
During the capture phase, you'll be given a number of Premier Balls, which are the only means to catch the creature. The number of Premier Balls you receive depend on a number of factors, but expect between about five and a dozen to play with:
Defeating the boss (fixed at 5 balls)
Damage inflicted (variable, maximum is 3 balls)
Gym Control (variable, addition of 2 if controlled)
Contribution by Team (variable, if majority of your team add 3)
Raiding with Friends) (+1 to 4 depending on Friendship level)
In short, having the Gym on your team and inflicting more damage will see you have a better chance. It's also worth remembering you can also use Berries during the encounter too, so stockpile those Golden Razz Berries - they may come in handy here for the tier 4 and 5 beasts.
If you run out of Premier Balls, the boss will flee.
How Raid Passes and Raid rewards work in Pokémon Go
Players can receive one free Raid Pass per day from spinning the Gym's photo disc (assuming you are high enough level to participate) and you can only hold one at a time. Additional 'Premium Raid Passes' must be purchased from the in-game shop - for 100 PokeCoins each - and we can assume you can hold as many of these as you please.
As of January 2020, Premium Raid Passes also allow you to gain entry to the Go Battle League, which also provides premium rewards.
There are also EX Raid Passes, which are rewarded to players who complete a standard Raid at the same gym an EX Raid will appear at soon after. These allow access to an EX Raid, whichhave even more elusive creatures to face off against, such as Mewtwo and Gen 3's Deoxys.
Pokémon Go Raid Rewards explained
Meanwhile, completing the battle can reward players with exclusive new items. You can get any item regardless of difficulty tier, but the higher you go the more you'll receive:
Pokemon Raid Can't See Actual Total Dmg Release
Rare Candies - When used on a Pokémon, will turn into that Pokémon's Candy. One Rare Candy will equal one Candy for that creature.
Golden Razz Berries - Greatly increase Pokémon capture rate in the wild, and can be used in Gyms to fully recover Motivation.
TMs - Available in Fast and Charged varieties, these Technical Machines will permanently teach a new Fast Attack or Charge Attack respectively. It's essentially move re-rolling, ideal for a high powered creature with weak Moves. This is the most uncommon reward of the set.
As well as the above, you'll receive 3000 Trainer XP for a standard Raid and a whopping 20,000 XP for Legendary Raids; Stardust whether you win or lose, plus 1000 Gym Badge XP, a chance at some standard Revives (which can still come in handy!) and Potions.
Pokémon Go in 2020 continues to add new features, such the arrival of the Go Battle League - which is currently highlighting the Master League - and soon, Clone Pokémon. We've also recently had the Buddy Adventure feature, which introduces a variety of perks - including finding Souvenirs - as well as a new trade evolution feature. 2019 saw the release of the first Gen 5 Pokémon, along with new regional exclusive Pokémon, Egg charts, and the introduction of the Unova Stone. Pokemon Go also sees regular events - including weekly Spotlight Hour and Mystery Bonus evenings, monthly Field Research rewards and Pokémon Go Community Day, plus a new Giovanni counters quest - the latest being The Shadowy Threat Grows.
Everything else you need to know about Raid Battles

While Gyms have you side with your chosen Team, Raid Battles are Team agnostic - meaning you'll be fighting with players from any side.
The same Gym mechanics for fighting, Moves and Type differences will be the same during a Raid encounter, so use those to practice up for Raids if you're already not familiar.
As well as an Egg appearing on the screen, you can also see which Raids are happening close by with your 'Nearby' radar (the same as the one that's currently available from the map screen, but on a different tab) or will receive a notification when one is happening. They happen pretty frequently, so don't worry if you miss out.
Raid Battles debut a new social feature - Private Raid groups. These are described as a 'customizable code system' that allow you to invite friends into a specific Raid group using a code composed of several symbols, rather than an alphanumeric password. Private Raid groups are designed for when there's vast amount of people at a Gym when a Raid is about to take place, you can privately create your own group, saving spaces for friends rather than having strangers come in. Details on how players will create their own group is unknown.
Up to 20 players can join an instanced lobby for a Raid - which is more than enough to take on most creatures, though you'll need half or close to the maximum to beat Legendaries, depending on who is in your group..
If you look at the Raid Bosses at later tiers, the best counters are also other bosses you can face. As such, if you're struggling to beat the toughest creatures, fight their counters and capture them to help you out later.
Though at launch you couldn't see who else was waiting to enter a Raid until you used a pass, a late August update now shows how many are ready to go before you enter. You can see how it looks at the end of this video by FuNKyShO on YouTube:
Though you can only receive one free Raid Pass per day, you can technically spend two, with one carrying over from a previous day.
Anecdotal evidence and our own experiences suggest the bosses you catch have a higher chance of strong IVs than those you catch normally, much like those you hatch from Eggs.
That said, the stats of the bosses you catch aren't the same for every player. Someone could catch a Wonder, but someone else could get something with lower IVs, for example.
Different raid bosses have different capture rates, according to The Silph Road Reddit, with Snorlax, Lapras and Rhydon at just 5%, and Legendaries at just 2%. Premier Balls, meanwhile, have the same low capture rate as regular PokéBalls. Good luck!
It's also apparently possible to catch a Shiny from a Raid Boss.
Raids appear to only take place during daylight hours local time, with the current times looking between 8am to 9pm. This also means any new Raids being introduced to the game will happen one day later in the UK than the US due to timezone differences, so bear that in mind with any announcements.
Someplayers are recommending your restart the app before Raiding to help with lag issues, with claims it can make the difference between success and failure.
Lucky Eggs increase the trainer XP rewards received from winning a Raid.
Following a mid-July update, you can now spin the Gym photo disc once a Raid has ended.
