Is the Raid Day with Legios worth it?
Is Legios strong? In short: Currently not. It does not perform well in the battle league, nor is it among the best attackers in Pokémon GO for raids. The monster from the games Sword & Shield currently has no real role in Pokémon GO regarding battles.
Why should one raid? This Raid Day is more for collectors due to Legios’s weakness. However, the monster is making its debut in its shiny variant and also comes with an increased shiny chance. So, if you want to fill your shiny dex, you have a pretty good opportunity.
What does shiny Legios look like? You can find the shiny Legios here:
The shiny is quite striking and is therefore one of the more interesting shiny monsters. There are far less exciting shiny candidates.
Who is the event worth it for? Overall, one can spend the 5 free Raid Passes since raids also bring XP as well as stardust and the chance of shiny Legios. However, you do not get a strong fighter here.
If you feel like doing a few raids and trying your shiny luck, you can take part in the event, but you don’t have to be upset if you miss it. There are other things to keep an eye on this month, as September will be very exciting for the game. The new season “Max Out” is coming. The new Dynamax feature is also coming into the game, which we will introduce here.
