The main attraction in Pokemon GO Battle Raids right now is Heatran. This Legendary is fairly most meta-relevant and trainers will want to make sure they secure a few strong copies of the Pokemon for future Raids and PvP battles. Players should make sure to review our updated Heatran Raid counters guide to prepare the best team for taking down the challenging new boss.

Although Heatran may get most of the metagame spotlight (and a new weekly Legendary Raid hour event to go along with it), there are some other exciting options in the current Raid rotation worth noting, including some of the Red Pokemon who arrived as part of the New Year event. Tier 1 is fully stocked with shiny potential (as usual), so collectors will likely want to focus on those raids to work on their shiny dex. Raiders will be happy to see another opportunity to collect addition Tyranitars and maybe pick up a Red Gyarados if they’re lucky, but those aren’t the only Raids worth doing.

The list is fairly stacked and should offer trainers plenty of motivation to brave the cold weather and get outside for some Raids this month. Keep in mind that the raid lineup is subject to change and will likely shift around a bit when the next surprise event kicks off in Pokemon GO.
For now, players may want to keep hunting down the best Unova Pokemon in the game if improving their Battle Raid rosters is their primary goal. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
