Trainers, get ready. For a short time, you can battle Kyogre and Groudon again in Pokémon GO. They join Rayquaza.
In the coming days, you are supposed to prove in Pokémon GO that you can take on three legendary Pokémon. Groudon and Kyogre are now returning to the game alongside Rayquaza, completing the legendary trio. Additionally, there will be a special egg event depending on the defeated raid bosses. To ensure you can participate in enough battles, the developers are also bringing special offers to the Pokémon GO shop.
Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza simultaneously in Pokémon GO
If you couldn’t take advantage of the last chances to catch Groudon or Kyogre, you will again have the opportunity in the coming days. They are now distributed with Rayquaza to the arenas of the world and form legendary raids.
You have until March 5th to defeat these Pokémon. All three will appear in Pokémon GO until then. It is not quite clear whether Kyogre and Groudon are already back or if they will return to the game later in the day (possibly around 10 PM). We are currently reviewing community feedback. Since they all have different strengths and weaknesses, you should take a look at our guides before entering the battles.
Special Egg Rewards
The developers will keep an eye on which bosses are defeated the most.
- If Rayquaza is defeated more often than Groudon and Kyogre combined, Pokémon that prefer windy weather will hatch from eggs more frequently between March 5th and March 16th. For example, Swablu.
- If Rayquaza is not defeated as often as Groudon and Kyogre combined, Pokémon that prefer sunny or rainy weather will hatch more frequently in the mentioned period. For example, Seedot or Lotad.
New Boxes in the Pokémon GO Shop
Starting February 24th, new special boxes will be available in the Pokémon GO shop. These are supposed to include, for example, raid passes. Niantic has not yet revealed more details about the boxes.
