Pokemon GO's late spring and early summer have been full of excitement and things aren't slowing down this month. As the massive Throwback Celebration 2020 comes to a close in the near future, there are already some very exciting follow up events planned to take trainers through the rest of June. Next weekend some popular Legendaries will be taking over Gyms once again to encourage the use of more Remote Raid passes for a few days.
The return of Latias and Latios was revealed in a recent datamine and now Niantic has officially confirmed the event. The duo of Legendary creatures have appeared together in the past for a Raid Weekend and it seems that same event is about to repeat. These Pokemon GO Raid Bosses haven't been spotted in the game since January, so it will be a nice opportunity to catch a few more for players who still need them.
The upcoming Legendary Raid Week begins on Friday, June 12 and will run through the weekend. There are plenty of strong counters for both Latias and Latios, but keep in mind that Dragon-types will be particularly effective. Rayquaza and Dialga are strong choices to lead any roster of counters against the blue and red paid of Legendaries.
The Legendary Pokémon Latias and Latios are coming back to Raid Battles for a Special Raid Weekend event! These Eon Pokémon haven’t been seen in the skies since January of this year, so be sure to catch them during this weekend before they fly off again!
Date + Time
Friday, June 12, 2020, at 8:00 a.m. to Monday, June 15, 2020, at 10:00 p.m. local time
Features
The Legendary Pokémon Latias and Latios will be in five-star raids.
Latias and Latios are both Dragon and Psychic type, so it’ll be best to bring along other Dragon-type Pokémon, such as Rayquaza and Dialga. They are also weak to Ice-, Bug-, Ghost-, Dark-, and Fairy-type attacks, so some recommended Pokémon to round out your Raid Battle teams are Tyranitar, Togekiss, and Mamoswine.
For now, players may want to keep hunting down the best Unova Pokemon in the game if improving their Battle Raid rosters is their primary goal. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
