Lugia and Articuno are already available in Pokémon GO. Soon, there will be two more well-known legendary faces in the game. Get ready for a legendary hunt to complete your PokéDex.
The last few days have been particularly exciting for many trainers in Pokémon GO. After about a year of waiting, two of the legendary Pokémon have finally made their way into the game and can be encountered as raid bosses. Those who defeat them even have a chance to catch them.
So far, the game features Articuno, the legendary ice bird, and the leader of the legendary bird trio: Lugia. But these are not the only special monsters you can expect in the coming months. Niantic plans to increase the legendary count soon by adding two more birds.
But be careful: The legendary birds Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres are only available in the game for a few days
Finding Zapdos and Moltres in Pokémon GO
The aforementioned legendary bird trio is currently only partially available in Pokémon GO. However, this is set to change soon as Niantic plans to activate the fire bird Moltres and the electric bird Zapdos “soon” in the game.
The fact that only Articuno is currently available in Pokémon GO is due to the blue Pokémon team performing the best during the GO Fest. Players unlocked the blue part of the legendary trio. If Team Red or Yellow had won, we might have already seen Moltres or Zapdos instead of Articuno.
After Niantic announced that Lugia and Articuno would now appear in the world of Pokémon GO, they quickly reassured the players of the other teams. Moltres and Zapdos will soon be found in the “real world”.
Don’t worry, Team Instinct and Team Valor, the Legendary Pokémon Zapdos and Moltres will also make their way into the real world soon … .
So far, it is unclear, when the other birds will appear in the game. Trainers are eagerly waiting for the trio to be completed. Prepare for tough battles, as the legendary birds are not easy to defeat and even more difficult to catch.
