Question: The "Evolve" button [shows a silhouette if you don't have the Pokemon](https://gaming.stackexchange.com/q/307293/32055) you'd get from the evolution yet, but shows an image of the Pokemon if you already have it. The nearby raids feature also shows silhouettes; however, it shows silhouettes for Pokemon I already have. Does this feature always only show silhouettes? Will it show the Pokemon if I've completed a raid against that Pokemon before?

This is a screenshot of a Magmar raid; I have caught/hatched/evolved a few Magmars, but never raided one.

Answer: 
All ongoing Pokemon Raids are depicted in silhouettes. All pending Raids are depicted as an egg. This is shown through this sort of search: [Can you see any full colour Pokemon Raid Bosses? Doesn't look like it.](https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=raids%20nearby%20pokemon%20go&source=lnms&tbm=isch&biw=1366&bih=638)  However, this may change in the future.
Raid Bosses are always depicted as silhouettes.

> It's worth pointing out that the datamine of Pokémon Sun & Moon registers regular Pokémon and Totem Pokémon as separate species (for example, Mimikyu and Totem Mimikyu are different Pokémon). It's possible that Pokémon GO may do the same thing; Snorlax and Boss Snorlax may be counted as different Pokémon.
