If you ever see a feature in Pok\u00e9mon Go <\/em>that you haven\u2019t used before, that is probably because Niantic has either recently added it or only rolls it out on special occasions. That is kind of how Elite Raids work, as they are a special type of raid battle only used for certain encounters within very limited timeframes. <\/p>
Unlike normal raids or even some of the other special raids, some Elite Raids only appear during specific events and are tougher than normal raids. They also exclusively feature rare Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> as bosses, which is part of the reason they appear so infrequently.\u00a0<\/p>
