Boss Pokémon (more commonly known as bosses) are rare types of Pokémon, usually tougher and larger than normal Pokémon. They are also tinted in one of four different colors: green, blue, red, and yellow. This alternate coloration is not to be confused with Shiny Pokémon. The text that shows above them lacks a level and is also colored. This text can be seen from farther away than that of normal Pokémon. They cannot be captured.

Bosses scale to 5/10/20/40 levels above the highest level Pokémon in a player's party, depending on colour (green/blue/red/yellow). For example, a boss Pokémon fought with level 80 Pokémon will be level 90, while the same boss Pokémon fought with level 85 Pokémon will be level 95. The rarity of boss Pokémon scales according to their difficulty, with harder boss Pokémon being rarer.

The moveset of a wild boss Pokémon may change with each battle; however, growth, nature, and IVs will not.

Boss Pokémon can be spawned with the command /pokespawn <Pokémon> boss<#> (e.g. /pokespawn lapras boss4 for a yellow boss Lapras).

Drops

Boss Pokémon drop a specified number of items chosen from list below according to their difficulty (green-1, blue-2, red-3, yellow-5).

• Poké Ball discs
• Poké Ball lids
• Poké balls (including Master Balls)
• TMs
• Evolutionary items
• Held Items
• Medicine
• Hammers
• Orbs

Trivia

• It is possible for a Pokémon to be both a boss Pokémon and a shiny Pokémon. This is typically only feasible through the /pokespawn command; it is extremely rare for this to happen naturally. However, this distinction is inconsequential as boss Pokémon cannot be captured.
