Today, on July 18, 2021, the second day of the GO Fest 2021 starts in Pokémon GO. It is all about legendary raids. We will show you which raid bosses to expect and which counters are best suited.
What can you expect on the 2nd event day? While the first event day revolved around the theme of catching, today, on the second day of Pokémon Go Fest 2021, legendary raids will be in focus. Of course, you can still catch the spawns from yesterday.
These legendary monsters are waiting for you
In total, Niantic has announced 37 legendary Pokémon for today, Sunday (via pokemongolive.com). Among them are three regional monsters that you can only obtain in their respective areas. Therefore, you will have to be invited by friends from abroad for Selfe and Tobutz. Also, remember to invite your foreign friends to Vesprit, as it is only available here.
