The Pokemon Company has announced a special Pokemon GO Raid Battle taking place at all Pokemon Center locations across Japan.

The Raid Battle is a tie in with the current Team Rainbow Rocket campaign happening at Pokemon Centers and Pokemon Stores right now. In this Raid Battle, players will be able to fight Team Rocket Boss Giovanni’s Nidoking. Don’t be fooled – this Nidoking is not your ordinary Nidoking, it’s more powerful and stronger than the average Nidoking!

Trainers will have to work together to take down Giovanni’s Nidoking. Those who are successful in capturing this peculiar Nidoking will be rewarded with a special Pokemon GO Nidoking Sticker from the staff at the Pokemon Center.

Here are the dates and times for the Nidoking Raid Battles:
