Legendary Pokemon Lugia and Articuno Now Available in Pokemon GO

Following the completion of Pokemon GO Fest’s Challenges, the Legendary Pokemon Lugia has now joined Raid Battles all around the world.

In addition, the number of Pokemon caught by each Team – Team Mystic, Valor, and Instinct, were tallied up, and Mystic has ended with the most amount of Pokemon.

As a result, the Legendary Pokemon Articuno has also joined Raid Battles all around the world. Go catch these Pokemon now!

Trainers,

As a result of all the hard work put in during Pokémon GO Fest, incredible in-game bonuses were unlocked for the entire Pokémon GO community. Also, thanks to the Trainers around the world who banded together to catch millions of Pokémon during the Challenge Windows, the following rewards will last until Monday, July 24, at 5:00 P.M. PDT:

• Double Stardust
• Double Candy
• Double XP
• Increased Pokémon encounters
• Reduced hatching distance
• Reduced buddy distance

These Trainers also played an integral role in revealing that Lugia would be the first Legendary Pokémon to enter the real world. In addition to Lugia, the number of Pokémon caught during Pokémon GO Fest by members of Team Instinct, Team Mystic, and Team Valor were tallied up, and, the winner was… Team Mystic! To celebrate this victory, Articuno will join Lugia in Raid Battles everywhere starting immediately. Don’t worry, Team Instinct and Team Valor, the Legendary Pokémon Zapdos and Moltres will also make their way into the real world soon, so stay tuned for more information.

It’s time to adventure together! Gather your friends and family and keep an eye out for Legendary Pokémon Eggs appearing at Gyms near you.
