Nintendo's smash-hit augmented reality game 'Pokemon GO' recently received the Raid update where you can use a bunch of new features, including the ability to hunt down new Pokemons with maximum combat power (CP). You will also get a chance to encounter tougher raid boss Pokemons at gyms or team up with fellow trainers to take down the elite ones.
Check out the full list of Raid bosses that you might encounter in the game (below) alongside some tips and tricks to identify the Pokemon with the highest CP just by looking at the colour of the raid eggs. The colour of the raid eggs will vary from one tier to another as they feature different types of Pokemons in the game.

You will encounter tougher Pokemons during raids as you move up to higher ranks or levels after each win. You will also face the additional constraint of beating the raid boss before the time runs out. However, such an effort could bring you some cool rewards after you have won the raid battle.
Basically, you will come across three different colour-coded raid eggs: pink, yellow and legendary.
The pink raid eggs give you the most common Pokemons with lower CP and it is easier to defeat them. The yellow raid eggs offer some rare Pokemons and powerful raid bosses, which require you to assemble a team of players to take them out. Finally, the legendary raid eggs are dark in colour and they only hatch the top-tier Pokemons or raid bosses with the highest combat power.
