When is Lugia available? From July 14th to 15th, which is today and tomorrow.
How to catch the legendary bird: Counter, defeat, and catch Raid Boss Lugia
Regice is temporarily disappearing: Lugia will be a level 5 boss. Therefore, during the time Lugia is catchable, Regice will disappear from the gyms. This way, you can maximize your time to catch Lugia. After all, you have the chance for a reddish shiny, which is why you’ll likely want to do as many raids with Lugia as possible.
The Pokémon GO Fest is happening now: The legendary bird appears in connection with the GO Fest in Chicago. All trainers around the world can now take part in global challenges over the weekend. We’ve summarized the most important information for you:
Next comes Zapdos Day: If all trainers worldwide manage to conquer the GO Fest challenges, Zapdos will be the next to join the game. On Zapdos Day, you can encounter the legendary Pokémon exclusively in raids for three hours. Zapdos Day will take place on July 21st. That’s a weekend after the big GO Fest.
