Bosses
Legendary rifts
Rift objective: enter a separate legendary arena, defeat its boss and claim the reward. The official reference lists 18 arenas, one per type, and 87 rift-eligible species. A five-star gacha label is not the eligibility test.
New rifts stop after minute 28 before Arceus Sentence at minute 30. Exact encounter rolls and waiting times are not promised here; the earlier secondary-source timing summary was not sufficient to establish an unconditional guaranteed spawn time.
A clear can reward tickets, coins, a held item, orbs and a Bond. The official page describes a 50% ten-pull-ticket chance. Rift legendary shiny odds are 1/512, distinct from wild 1/4096 and gacha 1/100.
Garchomp, Slaking and Dragonite are five-star species outside the rift list. Mew, Mewtwo and Eternatus are in the official rift pool. Check that list rather than a generic community species-page sentence.
At minute 30 Arceus is invincible but can receive reduced damage for a separate ranking. A random Plate changes type and minute 35 destroys held items. Consult the current late-game guide; this page claims no personal clear or guaranteed fight outcome.

Questions
Is every five-star species a rift boss?
No. There are 103 five-star species but only 87 rift-eligible species; Garchomp and Slaking are examples outside the rift pool.
Is entering a rift always safe?
No. Evaluate your current attacks, movement and healing; this guide does not promise a successful clear or an exact guaranteed encounter time.
