After Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno and Lugia, there are likely more legendary raids planned for Pokémon GO. A newsletter provides appropriate hints.
In the past weeks, you could get to know the first legendary Pokémon of the game in Pokémon GO. So far, Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, and Lugia have made their appearances in the augmented reality game. However, this is apparently not the end yet. In the future, more “legendary adventures” will be activated, which will likely provide more entertainment. Hints towards this come from a newsletter from the Pokémon GO team.
New legendary Pokémon in Pokémon GO?
On Friday morning, newsletters for Pokémon GO were sent out, mentioning among other things, the Pikachu outbreak in Japan. During the event, trainers can find many monsters in two different theme parks. Additionally, trainers discovered shiny variants of Pikachu.
Additionally, the Pokémon GO team described the Chester Festival in the UK in the newsletter and reported on legendary adventures of the Pokémon trainers worldwide. In a separate paragraph, the team described the current legendary event and expressed hope for the future.
The following lines can be found in the email:
Lugia, Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos have been sighted in Pokémon GO! Have you already fought against one of these Legendary Pokémon? From August 7 to 14, Zapdos, the Legendary Pokémon of Team Instinct, will appear in raid battles. Team up with other trainers and choose your Pokémon wisely when you face this extremely powerful and rare Legendary Pokémon. Good luck, trainers, and get ready for more legendary adventures!
The newsletter was issued after Zapdos had already been released. It probably was not meant to be a reference to the thunderbird. It is unclear whether the team is suggesting that you can still “further” catch the already existing legendary Pokémon or if indeed new raids will be activated in Pokémon GO soon.
Have you already caught the previous legendary Pokémon? Zapdos is still available for a few days as a raid boss in the game – With these Pokémon, you can counter Zapdos.
