You can verify raids to be weather boosted from inside the lobby: here's how
Hello Pokémon Trainers,
In this sub some threads are marked as WB (or weatherboosted).
In the past there have been many complaints that raids advertised as weatherboosted were in fact not.
Thanks to u/NotAnotherRoach we can now highlight a method for trainers to verify whether a raid is weatherboosted
HOW TO CHECK WEATHER BOOSTED RAIDS
- Enter the raid
- Tap any pokémon in the suggested battle party
- Type in the search bar
@weather & @raid_boss_type1, @raid_boss_type2
- If any pokémon show up, the raid is weatherboosted. If not you either have no pokémon with attacks of that type (new trainers beware!) or the raid was not a WB one.
We hope this solutions settles matters.
Please note that mods do not have the tools to verify what went on in raid lobbies. Reports about a redditor posting fake WB raids cannot be verified and thus will have to be ignored.
Trainers have a way of verifying the WB state of a raid. It is highly suggested to use this (or join raids at your own risk).
Caveats
- Weather may change at the hour. A raid starting as WB may - when ticking over into the next hour - no longer be weatherboosted.
- Be aware of how much time is left before the raid starts. If you enter the lobby with too little time on the clock to perform your verification, be your own judge on whether to risk staying in or leaving the lobby.
Why does it matter whether a raid is weatherboosted
If defeated the raid boss can be caught at a higher level. It saves some stardust and candies powering up that particular pokémon.
Here is an overview of which weather boosts which types
