Players can find Gimmighoul in Roaming Form and evolve it into Steel/Ghost-type Gholdengo. Now Pokemon GO is bringing another Pokemon to the game.It has been announced by Niantic that Regidrago will debut in Pokemon GO appearing in raids on March 11 at 11 am, 2 pm, and 5 pm local time.

In addition to the introduction of Dragon-type Regidrago in Pokemon GO, the Season 10 announcement revealed that Electric-type Regieleki, another member of the Legendary Titans, will be added to the game through Elite Raids. For the Regidrago Elite Raids, however, Niantic highlights two important points: the raids will only be available in person, and it will not be possible to use Remote Raid Passes to participate in the event remotely. Pokemon GO introduced Remote Raid Passes in 2020 as a way to encourage social distancing and promote player safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Regidrago and Regieleki were introduced in Generation 8 and are part of Pokemon's powerful Legendary Titans along with Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. The news of Regidrago Elite Raids was met with positivity by players, who are already discussing how to participate in the event to capture the Pokemon. Other players, however, are not happy that it will not be possible to use Remote Raid Passes.
Pokemon GO is available now on Android and iOS.
