Season 4

• Raid list is no longer from Silph and is now updated by volunteers

Thanks to Kimberkunoichi, Mostycool and Olafbrows for providing updates to the raid lists. Thanks so much for Silph providing the raid api for so long. The new system provides additional features over the old such as Breaking News and prioritizes having every raid possibly available while Silph prioritized having only confirmed raids. These are both valid methodologies for different purposes. Pokebattler raid api as always is available for anyone to use at fight.pokebattler.com/raids
