Translations:Boss Pokémon/14/en

For 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). However, if the player's highest-level Pokémon is level 60, the same rare boss Pokémon will instead be level 80. 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.

Types

There are two different types of boss Pokémon, each spawning in different ways:

Mega Evolved Boss Pokémon

A 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 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). Mega evolved boss Pokémon can only naturally spawn as epic, legendary and ultimate bosses.
