When it comes to PvE gameplay, many Pokemon GO trainers are likely looking forward to diving into a fresh rotation of Legendary and Mega Battle Raids. December has a solid selection of challenging bosses coming to the game (including three Mega Raid debuts) at both of those tiers, so players will want to start assembling their counter rosters early. The month also features some weekly Raid Hours that should be helpful for those looking to group up and take on a handful of raids in a single evening this month.
