"Why so Psychic-heavy with Raid Bosses right now?"

#PokemonGO: I am curious why there is such an emphasis on Psychic raid bosses during this current rotation.Tier 1 has the usual suspects of Magikarp and Wailmer, but also Drowzee added for the first time (and Meditite)......and then every boss in Tier 2 and 3 is Psychic-type with the exception of the returning staple Mawile. Just look at the list: Slowbro, Jynx, Alolan Raichu, regular Exeggutor (instead of the Alolan one we had most recently), Starmie, Claydol, and fan favorite Alakazam. Now granted, some of those (like Raichu and Jynx) are not known primarily for their Psychic typing and their strongest movesets are non-Psychic moves. But still, that is unprecedented.There was a pattern over the last few months of having the raid bosses be good counters to the current Tier 5 boss(es). When Regice was out, we had Fire types return to raids. When it was Kyogre we had Grasses and Electrics. Regirock featured an emphasis on Ground and Water bosses. And so on. Current Tier 4 bosses still follow this blueprint (Tyranitar, Absol, and Houndoom are all good to great Mewtwo/Deoxys counters, and at least Alolan Marowak has the right typing to be a counter), but Tiers 1-3 are the exact opposite.Why could that be? I'm wondering/hoping if it might mean we have some Psychic-centric event or reward on the horizon. Yes, Halloween is coming and they tend to feature Ghost, Dark, and Psychic types in abundance, but is there more to it than that? Why SO many Psychic types? via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2IwQUH1
