In Pokémon GO today, on September 15th, a raid hour with Vesprit begins. Other places also feature Tobutz and Selfe. We show you everything you need to know about the event, the best counters, and Shinys.
What type of event is this? Every Wednesday evening, a raid hour takes place in Pokémon GO. The special thing about this type of event is that legendary raids start at nearly all gyms in the game. Therefore, you have good chances to battle the legendary bosses.
Today, on September 15th, you will find Vesprit in the raid hour in Europe. In other locations, Tobutz and Selfe appear.
