Legendary Pokemon are finally coming to 'Pokemon Go,' something fans have been asking from the start
The long wait is over: Legendary Pokémon are finally coming to "Pokemon GO!"
Niantic Labs/The Pokémon Company
On July 22, when "Pokémon Go" holds its first major public event at Grant Park in downtown Chicago, the game's first Legendary Pokémon will be revealed through a new function: Legendary Raids.
If all of this sounds like gibberish to you, allow me to walk back some jargon:
- Legendary Pokémon are a handful of Pokémon that haven't appeared yet in "Pokémon Go," despite showing up in the game's code.
- "Raids" are a concept in video games where players group up to take down an enemy together.
In "Pokémon Go," Legendary Pokémon are finally being added as a group activity - presumably, the folks who gather at Grant Park on July 22 will form a unified team to take down the massive Legendary Pokémon that appear.
It's not clear how often those Legendary Pokémon will appear subsequently, but the press release offers a hint: "If Trainers successfully defeat the Legendary Pokemon in Chicago, that Pokémon will start appearing in Legendary Raid Battles around the world beginning July 23, 2017." Good luck, Chicago trainers!
