World Bosses
World bosses are currently disabled and being reworked.
Overview
Every 24-48 hours, a world boss will appear on a random map. A world boss is a random legendary Pokemon with boosted stats, whose HP pool is shared between all players. Players must work together to defeat the legendary in order to receive rewards.
When a world boss is active, there will be a notification in the top-left next to the blessings.
A Power Ticket will reveal the time until the next world boss appears. This ticket can be obtained by defeating the Kanto Elite 4.

Useful Pokemon
There are many viable Pokemon that can be used to fight world bosses, here are some of the more popular ones.

Strategy
Each World Boss has a set number of movesets that is randomly chosen each time. This means that it's possible to build teams in advance that will counter (or try to) each world boss and their possible movesets.
Divine Grace/Punishment make it difficult to attempt set-up sweeps. In spite of that, set-up sweeps are still generally considered to be the best way to deal massive amounts of damage and reach the higher damage tiers.

Rewards
The more damage you deal to the world boss, the higher chance you have of receiving better rewards. Damage tiers are 2.5k/10k/25k/50k/100k/300k/400k. This means that if you deal 10k damage to the world boss, you have a higher chance of receiving better rewards than someone who dealt 2.5k damage. You must reach 2.5k damage to receive any rewards.
The player who gets the killing blow receives a bonus IV Reset.
In addition to the rewards below, the players with the 1st/2nd/3rd most damage have a 15/10/5% chance, respectively, of receiving a Legendary Egg. This egg is untradable and contains the legendary that was defeated.
Note: You must deal a minimum of 25k damage to have a chance of receiving charms.
