Pokemon GO: Week-Long Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza Raid Battles Announced

Pokemon GO players are in for a wild week, as Niantic has announced that there will be a huge Legendary Pokemon event. Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza are going to be returning to Raid Battles from February 23 to March 5.

This is a huge opportunity for those that haven't caught these monsters yet, so mobile players shouldn't let this chance slide. All of these Pokemon have been part of separate Raid Battles in the past, so having all three of them in one week is pretty eventful. Fans of the Gen 3 era of the Pokemon games are in for a great time.

It's not just these Pokemon that players should be excited about. Should players defeat Rayquaza more times than Groudon and Kyogre, Pokemon that typically prefer windy weather (for example, Bagon) are more likely to hatch from Eggs from March 5 to March 16. If not, Pokemon that prefer sunny or rainy weather (like Trapinch or Lotad) are more likely to hatch.

Niantic has emphasized that these Raid Battles will be tough, so they are offering special boxes on February 24 containing Red Passes that will help them in battle. Mobile players that have the money should consider this if they really want all three legendary creatures.

Pokemon GO is available now on iOS and Android as a free download.
